Revamped All-Stars will honour the game’s best

It’s All-Stars week and in the interest of keeping you informed, there is a change in the selection process from last year — an outfield player can be chosen for an award in an area other than the one they were nominated in, writes John Fogarty 

At the same time, had such adjustability been in place last year Tom Parsons, may not have lost out on a midfield berth as either Colm Cavanagh or James McCarthy would have picked up a gong in the defensive sextet.

Given Cavanagh’s guardianship of Tyrone’s D and McCarthy’s role between the 45-metre line and midfield, their selection in that territory would have been as justifiable as a role in the middle of the field.
