Good luck trying to keep these lads out.
Last week, we asked readers to get the ball rolling on the best club hurling team of all-time by
picking a full-forward line from a selection of legendary sharpshooters who had all won an All-Ireland club title in the past.
Such was the level of quality of the nominees that when it came to the crunch, the great Daithi Regan of Birr and Offaly barely got a look-in, Damien Hayes and Eugene Cloonan were left out and there was no room for Cork’s Ben O’Connor either.
Their absence is a little more understandable when you see who did make the cut, with Joe Canning topping the poll comprehensively and taking his place in a full-forward line alongside multiple All-Ireland winning Kilkenny forward Eoin Larkin and Niall Gilligan of Sixmilebridge and Clare.
Just to reiterate, all three players are eligible for selection because they won an All-Ireland senior title with their clubs and the same criteria will apply for the half-forward line, which you can vote on now.
The full-forward line votes:
Joe Canning - 25.9%
Eoin Larkin - 13.83%
Niall Gilligan - 12.36%
Ben O’Connor - 11.75%
Liam Watson - 9.41 %
Eugene Cloonan - 8.25%
Damien Hayes - 8.15%
Ray Cummins - 3.44%
Christy Heffernan - 2.58%
Daithi Regan - 2.4%
Aidan McCarry - 1.91%
