The GAA and the GPA have announced that the All-Stars award banquet will not take place this year as Covid cases rise throughout the country.

All-Ireland champions Limerick and Tyrone both have 15 players nominated for awards but for the second year in a row, the pandemic, and lockdown restrictions, have affected the annual ceremony.
