Three Mayo GAA players named on prestigious Team of the Year

The Nickey Rackard winners Roscommon lead the way in this year’s Champion 15 selection, claiming an impressive four spots on this formidable team, with a further six counties also represented.

Enda Lawless claims the number 1 jersey and is supported by fellow Rossies in Mark Ward and Conor Cosgrove with Roscommon conceding only two goals throughout the competition. Mayo’s Oisín Greally takes the final spot in the full backline.

The backline is completed by London’s Christy Ring winners Conor Byrne and Enda Egan, along with Derry’s defeated finalist Ruairí Ó Mianáin.

In midfield, Mayo’s Daniel Huane and Derry’s Eamon Conway were reliable scorers, with Huane hitting nine points and Conway adding 16 for their respective counties.

The forward line features six counties, with six sharp shooters combining for a total of 8-139 between them. Two forwards proved crucial in winning silverware: David Mangan’s 1-7 earned him Man of the Match in the Lory Meagher Cup final, while Sean Canning’s brilliant 1-2 helped his side claim the Nickey Rackard Cup.
