Limerick’s flawless 2020 season has been reflected in their capturing of nine PwC hurling All-Stars this evening.

Emulating Kilkenny’s totals in 1983, 2000 and ‘08, it is only the fourth time in the 50-year history of the awards that the hurling champions have filled 60% of the team. It also matches the representation of last year’s football winners Dublin and is three better than Limerick’s return in 2018 as champions and an improvement of four on their collection when the county lifted the Liam MacCarthy Cup in 1973.
