Galway's Conor Whelan has told Galway Bay FM Sport that while it will be nice to head to Dublin tomorrow night to collect his Hurling All Star, it is also important to acknowledge those who have supported him.
The Kinvara forward was selected at corner forward for his second All Star award following the announcement this morning.
He is the only Galway player selected on a team that includes 7 Limerick players, 5 from Kilkenny and 2 from Clare. The Hurler of the Year Nominees are Kyle Hayes, Aaron Gillane and Diarmaid Byrnes, all from Limerick.
