The 2023 Electric Ireland GAA Minor Star Hurling Team of the Year and Minor Star Hurling Player of the Year have been announced.
In an exciting series of games, Clare took the crown in their first All-Ireland Minor Hurling title since 1997.
In this year’s Electric Ireland Minor Star Hurling Team of the Year, the top two teams Clare and Galway represent 11 of the 15 spots, with Clare players taking six places and Galway having five representatives on the squad. Semi-finalists Cork took two spots with other semi-finalist Kilkenny having one representative. One player from Limerick also features on the panel.
Electric Ireland has also announced this year’s Electric Ireland Minor Star Hurling Player of the Year: Clare’s Eoghan Gunning. The All-Ireland-winning captain scarcely put a foot wrong during the Banner County’s campaign. Defending from the foot, he was capable of turning the ball over and starting attacks and was a deserving Player of the Match in the All-Ireland final.
