Looks like the giraffe has the hyenas winding their necks back in

The internet is a serious business

I would have given it to Kelly but after him, Hegarty was next up.

Didnโ€™t realise South Liberties had such pedigree.

Richly deserved - he had an excellent year

9 All Stars and Hurler of the Year for Limerick.

@carryharry and @myboyblue will be in nawful form :grinning:

WOD robbed.

At least Hego got his HOTY

If you wanted to give to the the most skilful hurler, Kelly was a shoo in but Hegarty had a decent year on the whole and isnโ€™t the worst lad ever to win HOTY

Tom Morrissey should have been nominated for HOTY as well to be fair.

He was just below Gearoid for me in terms of performance. Very little in it. He was exceptional throughout the championship.

Iโ€™d have had WOD over Gillane and shoved Kelly in corner forward but other than that you couldnโ€™t argue too much

Last thing you want is two from the same team nominated, splits the vote and some Mayo fella will win it then

Absolutely, outside of Kelly, Hegarty was the pick of them, but Kelly was on a different level to anyone else this year.

He was, thereโ€™s not a hurler out there that can do what Kelly can do

Thats true. Tom had an unbelievable championship as well though.

Thought he was the difference in getting over the line against Galway in the semi-final.

Canโ€™t complain from a Limerick perspective to be fair at all.

Barron a disgraceful pick. Is he high up in the GPA by any chance?
He is a fine hurler but no way was he AIl Star material last season.

Very strong in the 70โ€™s. Last county title 1981. Beat us in a replay.
