Tipp Secure Five All Star Nominations

Tipp Secure Five All Star Nominations

Five Tipperary footballers have been nominated for GAA/GPA All Stars.

Evan Comerford, Robbie Kiely, Peter Acheson, Michael Quinlivan and Conor Sweeney have been recognised for their part in Tipperary's impressive run to this year's All Ireland semi-finals.

Unsurprisingly, Dublin and Mayo dominate the list of 45 with around half of all nominees coming from those two counties.

The winners will be announced at the gala All Star awards ceremony on November 4th.
