We have ourselves another All Star!!
⭐🇶🇦⭐🇶🇦⭐🇶🇦⭐🇶🇦⭐🇶🇦⭐
4 of the amazing 2026 side were nominated - Sam, Wally, Matty and Brandon - and for the first time since 2008, there is a Lake County name on the board as captain and leader Ronan Wallace takes the spot
Wally becomes All Star #6 from the county after John Keane (twice), Dessie Dolan, Rory O'Connell, and Gary Connaughton - this also comes after the Multy man won a spot on the Tailteann TOTY in 2022
Matthew Whittaker took the spot on the Sunday Game TOTY, Brandon ended as the 2nd highest scorer from play in Ireland after DC, and Sam was a collosus in every single game through the season. All 4 bringing their best ⭐🇶🇦
Fair play also to Kobe McDonald - the Mayo man becoming the youngest All Star in history. It is a team that, looking at quickly, is hard to argue with really as all are fully deserving. It looks like a very widespread team with 8 counties represented - not sure when that happened last, will suss out later. Probably a reflection of the new rules also making the game so much better
Maith sibh go léir! Iarmhí Abú 🇶🇦
