Harnedy had the look of a man walking up for his award that couldn’t believe he got it. There was a massive smile on his face. Refreshing to see. I think it was tight between himself, Duggan and a token All Star for Kilkenny Donnelly but the right man won it and well deserved
Harnedy definetely deserved his award ,reminds me of our own tom morrissey in limerick, good to win ball and averages a fair few points most days out ,good workers on the field and they come across in interviews as sound lads who love hurling.
From a Cork perspective I think Brian Hayes did more than enough to get an award.
I think Clare should probably be more disappointed than any that they only got six whereas Limerick got four.
Kilkenny won a provincial title and also lost in the semi final but got no all star.
I thought that Patrick Horgan may have been given an award. He would not have deserved it but these awards are as much about what you have done in previous years as what you have done in the year just finished, nothing else would explain four awards to Limerick and even at that I thought they still gave it to the wrong Limerick players. Cathal O Neill, the only young hurler nominee not to get an all star.
Ultimately it is a night for the players to dress up , relax and have a night out. The award can act as a door stop .
Well done to our 5 lads for winning All Stars what ever we say it is a great honour for player his family and his club and county
reality 5 was as much as All Ireland runners up would get ....i do agree Brian Hayes unlucky.
Think 5 was max Cork were going to get.
I didn't expect Dan Morrissey to get one and if you'd told me beforehand he was getting one Id have thought Eoin Downey would miss out, I don't think I hardly saw a team picked anywhere without Conor Leen on it.
