Donegal’s Finnbarr Roarty was honoured as Young Footballer of the Year, capping off a breakthrough season. Meath’s Seán Rafferty made history by earning his county’s first All-Star in 18 years, while players from Donegal, Armagh and Louth also featured in the final selection.
In hurling, Tipperary’s superb campaign was recognised with seven All-Star awards. Star forward John McGrath crowned a stellar year by being named Hurler of the Year, following his key role in Tipperary’s triumph over Cork at Croke Park.
