He was injured early on in the year I’m sure. Second half against Galway and the AI final he was phenomenal alright. His workrate is unparalleled and he can add in scores and the odd freak of nature bit of brilliance
TJ reid should have got 11 and Whelan should have got one inside
Kilkenny goalkeeper is nominated largley due to one save v Clare.
He conceeded 11 goals in Championship hurling.
But his backs must have beem shite says you???
Well 2 of the Kilkenny full bcck line are also nominated. I know they have to nominate 3 in every position but if more than 1 award is dished out to the Cats before they get to number 4 on the list it will further confirm its a joke of a yoke
They won’t be sitting at the top table though, afterwards photos can be arranged no problem. We will do our best to keep the game alive in the weaker counties as best we can.
Kilkenny will get four - Cody and Lawlor nailed on with Murphy, Butler and TJ in the mix for the other two. Butler probably the one to miss out as Nash, Morrissey and Lawlor are nailed on.
Whelan will get the Galway A/S as it hasn’t been a great year for standout forward options. Gillane, SOD and Cody are nailed on in the forwards. Tom Morrissey should also get one. Meaning TJ will get the fourth Kilkenny A/S and last forward slot.
Byrnes and Hayes will be the wing backs, Conlon will probably get centre back - Be interesting to see do they try and shoehorn a lad in at midfield. Bulter, Cian Lynch, TK, etc - the two limerick lads are in the box seats to get the spots but wouldn’t be surprised to see WOD maybe miss out especially if Quaid gets the keeper spot.
8 limerick
4 Kilkenny
2 Clare
1 Galway I would expect
