Apart from the inevitable conclusion of Dublin winning another All-Ireland there was some decent shocks in the football championship, Cork beating Kerry, Cavan beating Donegal, some not bad over the winter months, but still the football left a lot to be desired, but here are you nominations for young & senior footballer of the year and your nominations for all-starts team of the year. The All-Star team will be announced late next month in a TV show that will be in line with Covid-19 restrictions.
