Cats star Carey misses AllStar list
Kilkenny hurling star DJ Carey has been ommitted from this year's 45 strong list of AllStar nominations though the All-Ireland champions have 12 players on the list.
Carey, 32, will have to line out for another year if he wants to land a record 10 AllStar awards but will take heart from the amount of Cats colleagues that made the grade.
Elsewhere, beaten finalists Cork are represented by 10 players while eight of last year's AllStar winners have made it onto the short list again.
