ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS Clare have six players honoured on the 2024 PwC GAA-GPA All-Star hurling team.

Five players from beaten finalists Cork and four from Munster champions Limerick are recognised, making it an all-Munster selection.

The winners were announced at tonight’s All-Star banquet at the RDS.

There are five first-time winners honoured in defenders Adam Hogan, and the Downey brothers, Eoin and Robert, along with the attacking pair of Shane Barrett and Mark Rodgers.

On the other side of the honours list, Tony Kelly and Kyle Hayes both pick up their fifth awards, with Kelly now the Clare hurler with the greatest number of All-Stars. Hayes is selected for the fifth successive year, while Limerick duo Dan Morrissey and Gearoid Hegarty both win their fourth awards respectively.

Morrissey, Hayes, and Shane O’Donnell are the three members of last year’s team honoured on this occasion.
