Philly McMahon pokes fun at All-Star selection committee for omitting Kerry and Dublin players

The final 15 was selected this morning, and for the first time in 21 years, the list has no inclusion of a Kerry or Dublin player. Instead, All-Ireland winners Armagh have six players included in the final 15, while Louth and Tyrone have one player each, Galway got two inclusions, and Ulster champions Donegal also had two players included.

Interestingly, 14 of the players selected for the PwC All-Star team are first-time honourees.

Both Dublin and Kerry were knocked out of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship this year at the semi-final stage, so their omissions come as no surprise to many.

However, McMahon, who retired in 2021, took to social media to poke fun at the unusual omissions that haven’t happened in 21 years.

"How happy would you say the All-Star committee was choosing this year's All-Stars? They had to wait 21 years. #nodubs #nokerry," said the former Dublin great.

The PwC All-Stars, selected by a panel of Gaelic Games correspondents from various media outlets, will be awarded at a black tie banquet tomorrow at the RDS. The show will be broadcast live on RTÉ at 7 p.m. The PwC GAA/GPA Footballer and Hurler of the Year, Young Players of the Year, and the PwC Hurling All-Stars will also be announced live on the night.
