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 .
