Champions Armagh supply six to PWC Football All-Stars selection

There are five counties represented and 14 first-time winners on a PwC Football All-Stars 2024 team dominated by All-Ireland champions Armagh and runners-up Galway.

The Orchard county lead the way with six players (of 11 nominees), including Footballer of the Year nominee Barry McCambridge, while runners-up Galway have five (of eight), including their FOTY nominees Paul Conroy and John Maher. All three are first-time All-Stars.

Ulster champions Donegal have two representatives while there is one each for Tyrone and Louth, for whom Craig Lennon claims a first award since 2010. The Red Hands' Morgan is the only member of the XV to have previously been selected.

Three clubs have supplied two players each: Clann Éireann and Maghery Seán MacDiarmada of Armagh, and Galway's Salthill-Knocknacarra.

It is the first time since 2003 that neither Dublin nor Kerry have an All-Star representative. The Dubs had four nominees after they were dethroned by Galway in the quarter-finals and the Kingdom three, following their extra-time loss to Armagh in the semis.

The All-Stars ceremony will take place on Friday at the RDS in Dublin, where the Footballer of the Year and Hurler of the Year/hurling team will be named live on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

Goalkeeper

Niall Morgan (Tyrone)

The 2021 All-Ireland winner beat out competition from Armagh's Blaine Hughes and Donegal's Shaun Patton to claim his second award, despite his county exiting at the preliminary quarter-final stage. The Edendork St Malachy's keeper scored eight championship points, including one from play, as he continued to epitomise the sweeper-keeper role, which is set to evolve again under Gaelic football's proposed new rules.
