It is not all about individual awards, but that doesn’t make them insignificant. This week will be one of celebration for several clubs and counties as the best players from the 2024 championship are honoured.

The All-Stars banquet will take place in the RDS on Friday with the hurling team to be unveiled live on the night. The All-Stars football team will be named this Thursday. There is a high likelihood that history will be made somewhere. Armagh’s last All-Star was in 2008 and the All-Ireland champions are certain to end that streak.
