THE FINEST HURLERS from around the country will descend on Dublin’s Convention Centre for the latest installment of the GAA/GPA All-Stars.

The football awards were already announced but the awards for the small ball code will be announced live on Friday night. The ceremony is live on RTE 1 from 7pm. You can check out the full list of nominees here.

Our writers have had a stab at predicting the 15 players who will be honoured on the 2016 All-Star team.  Let us know what you think.
