AIB GAA Club Players Awards 2018 - Hurling Team of the Year

Club , Derry GAA , Dublin GAA , Galway GAA and Limerick GAA | Wed Apr 18 08:00:00 IST 2018

The first ever AIB GAA Club Players’ awards come after a long season of chasing #TheToughest title of all.

There were stars in every team but we’ve narrowed it down to the 15 who made it count most often on the big days.

All-Ireland champions Cuala became only the fifth hurling club to ever retain the title, following in the footsteps of Sarsfields (1992-94), Athenry (1999-2001), Birr (2001-2003) and Portumna (2007-2009) and have been rewarded with six gongs.

Given their breathtaking contribution to a championship that was decided by such narrow margins after such an epic two-game final, Munster champions Piarsaigh also have six players included and there is one apiece for Ballygunner, Slaughtneil and Liam Mellows.

Contrary to popular belief

Contrary to popular belief, defending AIB All-Ireland club champions Cuala do not hold an unbeaten two-year run in club championship hurling. Just a few weeks after they claimed their maiden national title last March by beating Ballyea in Croke Park, fellow south-siders Ballyboden St Enda’s took great pleasure in shocking Cuala in their opening Dublin SHC outing of 2017.

Darragh O'Connell is a rare breed of hurler. Born and bred in North Kerry where the small ball code is prevalent, he won a Christy Ring Cup with the Kingdom in 2011 and scored 1-9 in the final against Wicklow.

From the outside looking in, Ballymun Kickhams have everything needed to take over club football. Men who have been key to Dublin’s three-in-a-row: James McCarthy, Dean Rock, John Small, and Philly McMahon. Others who have worn blue such as Alan Hubbard, Jason Whelan and Davy Byrne, not to mention emerging stars Evan Comerford and Paddy Small.
