Ger Brennan believes that a number of his Louth players have put themselves in the frame for 2024 All Star selection.

The Wee County have powered through to their first-ever All-Ireland SFC quarter-final in Brennan’s first year at the helm, wherein they will lock horns with Donegal at Croke Park on Sunday, and the former Dublin defender names up to six Louth players who deserve consideration from the All Star selectors:   

“For example, Sam Mulroy the team captain - a super player and a lot of the talk over the last few years was around Sam and maybe one or two other players, but now as the group has progressed and continued to evolve, you guys are starting to see that there are a few other Sams in the team in terms of leadership, in terms of their talents and the skill sets that they have.

“Craig Lennon is a super talent, Donal McKenny corner back, Colm McKeever is having a super season, Conor Grimes, Ciaran Keenan, there’s so many players and all these lads for me are in All Star categories, if you ask me.

“Paddy Keenan was the last player to get an All Star in 2010, but I think you can start to see in the group and the fact that there’s 19 journalists here today interested in how Louth are doing, there’s an understanding and an appreciation nationally that we’re not just here to make up the numbers, we’re there to compete and represent the county with pride.”
