Brian Duignan’s selection for the Joe McDonagh All-Stars last week was recognition that 2024 represented a coming of age for the Offaly attacker.

First drafted into the county panel for the 2020 campaign, this year saw him take over free-taking duties in Eoghan Cahill’s injury-enforced absence, while a superb solo goal at the start of the final against Laois was also a sign that he’s taken on a lot more responsibility this year.
