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.

As a player, and as a manager, Stephen Rochford’s knows the joys of Paddy’s Day. Back in 2001, as a corner-back on a Crossmolina Deel Rovers side led by Ciaran McDonald, he lifted the Andy Merrigan Cup.

Pádraic Joyce: Exciting times for Galway football and there's life in the old dogs yet

I was talking to Tomás Ó Sé the other day and he’s delighted to have reached the AIB All-Ireland SFC club final with Nemo Rangers. Someone said to me that it’s a bad sign when a lad of nearly 40 years is getting man of the match in an AIB All-Ireland club semi-final but Tomás is no ordinary five-eight (for those not from the west, that means he’s not your normal type), as I told him.

Michael Lundy won’t be handed a cup if Corofin beat Moorefield, but still there is a massive prize on offer this Saturday.

Michael Lundy won’t be handed a cup if Corofin beat Moorefield, but still there is a massive prize on offer this Saturday. Winning this AIB All-Ireland semi-final clash at O’Connor Park means a trip to Croke Park on Paddy’s Day, which in itself is a huge lure.

Sometimes, it's the small things in life that make a big difference. David Collins is a man of habit. Every morning at 7am, you'll find him in the sea in Blackrock, on the Salthill waterfront.

AIB Club Championship: Weekend previews and fixtures

BY SHANE STAPLETON

Fourteen years on from making an AIB senior club football final, one Kerry legend is looking to do so again at intermediate level. Delightfully, An Ghaeltacht's Marc O Se is coming up against a long-time foe in Sean Cavanagh, a man he fought tooth-and-nail with when Kerry and Tyrone were ruling the land. 2010 Young footballer of the Year, Aidan Walsh, takes up his hurley this weekend, while a 2004 All Star looks to take his Wexford club side to Croke Park. That's just some of the magic on show in this weekend's club action.
