Very disappointing for Derek Lyng after a great year. However sad the way a great display finished up for Ken Mcgrath in Thurles Sunday so best of luck to him.
Anyway 3 is not too bad & in JJ & Henry we have the 2 best hurlers in the country regardless of awards.
Tommy is a star also. All 3 should be back on the podium again this time next year also.
BTW Paul Flynn & big Dan were well merited in 2004 also.
Eoin Kelly & Fitzhenry were shoe ins & Cork were bound to get several.
Overall a good selection except for Lyng & yes Tommy should have been young hurler of the year.

Damien Fitzhenry was a shoe in alright he was, congratulations to Sean Óg for hurler of the year. Ben O'Connor could be a little disappointed as well, but i suppose theres not much in it, a little surprised that corcoran got selected, he got better with every game but but i cant help thinkin the all star is more about him comig out of retirement then his overall infulence during the championship. Having said that to come back after 2 years is some achievement.

Corcoran was a shoe-in after that point he scored off his knees against limerick in the munster championship. Pure class. Bit surprised at the selection Brian Murphy as young hurler of the year. Even though i'm a Corkman and it hurts me to say this, that award should have gone to tommy walsh, he had a great year.

true, that point was something else

I thought they were pretty fair for once, didn't think Lyng deserved one over the two that were picked.
