Galway’s All-Star Record (1971 to 2022)

The Canning Brothers

We love All-Star history & stats here at All-Star Gazing, so in the run up the 2023 GAA PwC All-Star selections on the 17th November, we are taking a look at the All-Star roll of honour from 1971 to 2022, county by county.

Dual county Galway have an impressive All-Star record. 97 Hurling awards have been achieved by 49 Galway hurlers, while 29 Galway footballers have been selected achieving 43 awards.

The hurling All-Star roll of honour is led by Pete Finnerty, Joe Canning and Joe Cooney – each with 5 awards. 4 sets of brothers have become hurling All-Stars: Ollie & Joe Canning, Joe & John Connolly, Joe & Jimmy Cooney, Cathal & Pádraic Mannion. The Cannings were chosen on the same team in 2009.

In football, 3 players lead the way – Pádraic Joyce, Kevin Walsh and Michael Donnellan each having been honoured 3 times.

Five Galway players were chosen on the 1st All-Star teams in 1971. PJ Smyth was on the football All-Star Team in goals along with Jack Cosgrove, Liam Sammon and Séamus Leyden. Joe Connolly was selected on the hurling team.
