Corofin’s Jamie Malone has been included among the forty five players nominated for the 2019 PWC Football All-Stars.
Eleven counties in total feature in the shortlist, Jamie is Clare’s sole representative as Dublin lead the way with thirteen nominations, followed by nine from Kerry, Donegal have six, four for Mayo and three apiece from Tyrone and Meath.
Dublin trio Stephen Cluxton, Jack McCaffrey and Con O’Callaghan are all in the running for Footballer of the Year.
Across Clare’s five championship outings this year, Malone scored 1-14 from play. Colm Collins’ side came just short of reaching the Super 8s for the first time when they suffered a one point defeat to Meath back in July.
Clare has only ever received one All Star in football, ironically it was Jamie’s clubmate Seamus Clancy who was bestowed with the honour in 1992.
Earlier, this week no Clare hurler was included in the All Star nominees. The awards take place on November 1st.
