Byrnes, Hegarty and Hayes up for Hurler of the Year

All-Ireland champions Limerick lead the way with 13 nominations for this year's PwC All-Stars, while the Treaty men also have two players vying for Hurler of the Year.

Two former winners - Diarmaid Byrnes (2022) and Gearóid Hegarty (2020) - will go up against Cork attacker Brian Hayes for the individual award.

Limerick reclaimed the Liam MacCarthy Cup this summer to complete a clean sweep, having landed the Munster and Allianz League crowns earlier in the year.

Eight counties are represented in the nominations, with beaten All-Ireland finalists Galway next on the list with 11 players.

Cork have seven, followed by three for fellow semi-finalists Clare, while quarter-finalists Dublin and Offaly have three and two nominations respectively. Neighbours Waterford (two) and Kilkenny (one) finish out the list.
