No Cavan or Monaghan players on rising star team of the year

No Cavan or Monaghan players were selected on the Electric Ireland GAA Rising Stars Football Team of the Year.

The team selected from the 2022 Sigerson Cup where both Carroll and Heneghan help NUI Galway to lift the championship.

Uachtarán CLG Larry McCarthy said: “I would like to congratulate each of the players and their institutions on their achievements throughout this season’s Championship and for being named on the Football Team of the Year”.

“The determination and skill on display in this year’s Electric Ireland Higher Education GAA Championships has been immensely enjoyable to watch, and the players named here serve as fantastic representatives of their 3rd level institutions”.

“We look forward to celebrating their achievements at a formal ceremony later in the year” added McCarthy.

In a season filled with stand-out team and individual performances, NUI Galway took home the Sigerson Cup for the first time since 2003 after a powerful display against runners-up, UL, while GMIT gained promotion from the Electric Ireland Trench Cup following their impressive run of form in this season’s Championship.

In this year’s Electric Ireland Higher Education GAA Rising Stars 2022 Football Team of the Year, Sigerson Cup Champions, NUI Galway, lead the way with seven players included, while beaten finalists UL have four representatives on the team. Beaten semi-finalists DCU DÉ and MTU Kerry each have two players represented.
