"Fenton and Hegarty now that would be a formidable football midfield combination!"
Dublin's Brian Fenton and Limerick's Gearóid Hegarty.
Many talking points came out of this evening's 50th annual All-Stars awards ceremony which saw the Limerick hurlers emulate Dublin's footballers by claiming nine All-Stars while Brian Fenton and Gearóid Hegarty were winners of the top individual prizes...
Brian Fenton: Always classy on and off the pitch.

Radiates decency.
Gearoid Hegarty: His performances as towering as his physique.
Impressive speaker.
Two serious ambassadors.
And a word for Ciaran Kilkenny: As immense a season as any Dublin player in recent years.#PwCAllStars

Congrats Nickie - PwC All Star goalkeeper 2020.

Speaks of the emotional experience of reading all tributes shared by Limerick players in their WhatsApp after John Kiely informed them of Mark's death #GAA.
Brian Fenton’s Dad was from Kerry. That explains it. #AllStars #gaa

Normally, I’d have issues with #AllStars but, hard to disagree with this yrs. @PwCIreland teams.Tough luck on goalies, St. Cluxton (again) & St.O Keeffe but sin an scéal. #Dubs & #Limerick deserved their 9’s. Thanks to all those gr. players who shortened the winter for us. #gaa pic.twitter.com/8yvAgKW38L
