Limerick lead the way in 2018 All-Star hurling team
Saturday 3 November 2018 11:12, UK
The 2018 PwC All-Star hurling team has been named, with All-Ireland champions Limerick leading the way.
The Treaty ended a 45-year wait for All-Ireland honours as they beat Galway in a classic final which went down to the wire. John Kiely's charges have been richly rewarded with All-Star awards as they enjoy the fruits of their labour throughout the winter. Leinster champions and runners-up Galway are second in the pecking order.
All-Ireland champions Limerick boast six names in the team, while semi-finalists Clare have John Conlon and Peter Duggan.
Goalkeeper Nickie Quaid missed out to Kilkenny's Eoin Murphy, meaning the Treaty failed to match Galway's haul of seven last year.
