Antrim dominate Joe McDonagh Cup team of the year

There are seven players from Joe McDonagh Cup winners Antrim included on the competition’s Team of the Year.

The Saffrons, unsurprisingly, are the best represented county on the 2022 Joe McDonagh Cup Team of the Year, with Kerry having four players, two for Carlow and one each for Offaly and Down.

Antrim are represented in every line of the field with goalkeeper Ryan Elliott joined by defenders Joe Maskey, Gerard Walsh and Eoghan Campbell. Keelan Molloy is included at midfield, while Conal Cunning and Ciarán Clarke are among the six forwards.

Beaten finalists Kerry are represented by Fionan Mackessy, Eoin Ross, Mikey Boyle and Pádraig Boyle. Carlow’s Chris Nolan is honoured for the third consecutive season and is joined in the selection by his Barrowside colleague Martin Kavanagh, who scored 2-49 in five matches. Offaly’s David Nally and Down’s Daithí Sands complete the 15.
