All-Star Full-Forward Selections Announced

The selected All-Star full-forwards are Oisin Gallen representing Donegal, and Armagh players Rian O’Neill and Conor Turbitt. Rian O’Neill initially found it challenging to deliver his peak performance during the commencement of Armagh’s championship run. Nevertheless, he subsequently delivered a man-of-the-match performance against Kerry, where he scored three points and executed a crucial soaring catch on his own goal-line in the game’s concluding moments. This was succeeded by another strong showing in the final match. O’Neill’s team-mate, Conor Turbitt, also features in the forward line. Turbitt, similar to most full-forwards, encountered difficulties in the All-Ireland decider, where he did not register any scores. However, his prior scoring total of 3-22, which comprised 0-5 against Kerry, justifies his selection. Oisin Gallen from Donegal completes the roster of 15 players, in what has been described as a less than stellar year for full-forwards. His selection occurs despite two uncharacteristic and critical missed frees during the All-Ireland semi-final, following an otherwise exceptional campaign that saw him contribute 2-33 to Jim McGuinness’ team, with 1-15 of that total originating from open play.
