Offaly Scoop Player Of The Year Honours As Four Named To Champion 15 Selection

Monday, 6 December 2021 15:31

Eight counties are represented overall.

Offaly star Oisin Kelly has been named as the top talent in the Christy Ring Cup of last season. 

The Belmont man scored 2-10 in total, including 0-7 in the final against Derry. 

He was one of the leading lights as Michael Fennelly's team completed an unfussed return to Joe McDonagh Cup hurling for 2022. Kelly was far from the only standout player though as is reflection in the Champion 15 selection. 

It encompasses an all-star team made up of Christy Ring, Nicky Rackard  and Lory Meagher cup players. 

Alongside Kelly in the team were Ballinamere's Ciaran Burke, St. Rynagh's Ben Conneely and Birr's Eoghan Cahill. All three made up a strong spine for the faithful team and contributed heavily to a very successful season. 

Conneely grew into his leadership role with the team even further and Cahill was unyielding as ever from the placed ball.
