Kerry scoop six All Stars
League and All-Ireland champions Kerry wrapped up the season in fine style with six of their team picking up Vodafone GAA All Star awards.
Goalkeeper Diarmuid Murphy, corner-backs Tom O'Sullivan and Michael McCarthy, wing-back Tomás Ó Sé and forwards Paul Galvin and Colm Cooper all got the nod from the selection committee.
Galvin also has the honour of being 1000th All Star to be honoured since the scheme was inaugurated in 1971.
Wexford celebrate the selection of their first football All Star, with Mattie Forde named at left corner-forward.
Meanwhile, championship surprise package Fermanagh celebrate their first All Star award since 1982, when Peter McGinnity was honoured. Full-back Barry Owens and midfielder Martin McGrath get the nod on this occasion.
Seven counties are represented and there are 11 first-time winners.
Leinster champions Westmeath had two players selected - John Keane and Dessie Dolan.
Only one player from last year is honoured again, Tyrone's Sean Cavanagh at midfield.
Enda Muldoon gets his place a full-forward, having edged out Derry colleague Paddy Bradley.
The county breakdown is: Kerry (6), Fermanagh (2), Mayo (2), Westmeath (2), Tyrone (1), Derry (1), Wexford (1).
The Young Footballer of the Year award will be announced on Friday night, with the hurling All Stars to be announced live on RTE television.
