With another football year brought to a close and Tyrone winning the All-Ireland football Championship for their third time beating Mayo in the final on a scoreline of . We now have the All-Star football nominations and Tyrone have dominated the pick as you would expect with getting 15 players nominated. 11 County’s feature in the picks and it’s great to see the likes of Cork, Clare and other county players nominated.
Cork, Clare, Donegal, Galway might not have gone far in the Championship but have good prospects coming through and it’s good that they were recognised in the nominations. David Clifford has been nominated again as you would expect for the third year running, what a player that guy is and is going to be for Kerry for years to come.
