Beaten finalists Galway have been recognised with eight nominations, with Paul Conroy and John Maher considered for Footballer of the Year
Champions Armagh lead the way in All-Stars nominations, with Barry McCambridge up for Footballer of the YearBrian Cody: ‘Of course I enjoyed being manager, but the game goes ahead and I can’t say I miss it’The Young Footballer of the Year nominees are Armagh’s Oisín Conaty, Galway’s Johnny McGrath, and Donegal’s Ciarán Moore.
The trio edged out Galway’s Connor Gleeson and Kerry’s Shane Ryan in the battle for a nomination. Hughes had a stellar season between the posts for Armagh but Morgan and Patton were both exceptional for their respective sides as well.Patton’s long, accurate deliveries over the top of opposition high presses was a real weapon for Donegal in their march to Ulster glory, while Morgan continued to evolve the goalkeeping role with hugely impactful and purposeful outfield forays.
Louth’s progress to a first ever All-Ireland quarter-final has been acknowledged with four nominations, two of which are in defence – Donal McKenny and the ball-carrying Craig Lennon. There is no Derry player among the nominees, despite the Oak Leaf side claiming the National League title this season. Eoin McEvoy would have been viewed as a strong contender for a place among the 18 defenders, but the Derry player did not make the cut.
