I agree, I don’t think Barron had a great year really.

Jaysus, you’d swear the award was supposed to be for the best individual player of the year. It’s not.

Imagine rocking out to play junior A next year and marking HOTY

peddlerscross · February 20, 2021, 8:02pm

He’s not.

Three awards at midfield in 5 seasons is fair going considering they haven’t won the big one.

Delighted for Dan Morrissy. Either Tom or Geariod were worthy POTY. I’d have Tom there (just about) but its all opinions (Id give Joanne a dart)

The_Most_Infamous · February 20, 2021, 8:03pm

In fairness the quality has gone way up at Junior A level over the last couple of years.

That is gas though.

Heyyoubehindthebushes · February 20, 2021, 8:04pm

Threw a 10er on hero for 2019 HOTY at 25/1 during that league season. Wrong year. Well deserved

Heyyoubehindthebushes · February 20, 2021, 8:04pm

Its a dog fight and a great competition tbf

Breaking_my_balls · February 20, 2021, 8:05pm

9 All Stars equalling the great Kilkenny side of 2008.

And we were robbed. WOD should have been 10.

The_Most_Infamous · February 20, 2021, 8:06pm

Standard is up though jokes aside. Which is fantastic for the game of hurling in Limerick.

Heyyoubehindthebushes · February 20, 2021, 8:06pm

At all grades splitting intermediate has worked wonders and senior is more competitive with the super 6s

Glentaisie · February 20, 2021, 8:09pm

Will O’Donoghue losing out is the only major shock in that team. Could have put him midfield and pushed Kelly into the forwards for Gillane.

ChairmanDan · February 20, 2021, 8:09pm

Not many got the chance in Championship 2020 to fill their boots against both Laois and Wexford.

kerry1891 · February 20, 2021, 8:12pm

i thought he would have sneaked one

A good night for those who backed Hegarty at 25’s for HOTY last October.

Only have to wait another 6 months for the bookies to open to claim it.

The_Most_Infamous · February 20, 2021, 8:16pm

Brilliant shout mate.

balbec · February 20, 2021, 8:16pm

I thought that’s what they would do.

Barron very, very fortunate. He was pretty anonymous in both games against WOD and Limerick this year.

In fairness he was the best player in the country in 2017 and should have been HOTY so this is probably some compensation.

Lynch fortunate enough I think. He still had flashes of class, and totally broke Tipperary in the Munster semi final, but it wasn’t a vintage year by his high standards.

Still, 9 for the all conquering champions is an acceptable return.
