Keoghan in Christy Ring Champion 15

Killyon and Meath hurler Keith Keoghan has been selected on the Christy Ring Cup Champion 15 for this year, but he is the only player from the Royal County to make the line up for the awards that will be presented at Friday night's GAA GPA All-Stars banquet sponsored by Opel at the Convention Centre, Dublin.

The awards are presented to honour the best hurlers from these three championships.

GAA president Aogan Ó Fearghail said: 'These awards acknowledge the undoubted talent that exists at every level of inter-county hurling. It also serves as a reminder of the pursuit of excellence that runs right through these competitions from start to finish.”
 
“Like our Liam McCarthy hurlers, some of whom will be honoured with All-Star awards on Friday evening, these players are the standardbearers in the teams and competitions in which they star.

'I congratulate all of the recipients and remind the winners of the importance of the role they play in the ongoing growth of hurling within their own counties and clubs,” he concluded.

Apart from Keoghan, Kerry top the list of recipients in the Christy Ring Cup Champion 15 with Shane Nolan, John Egan, Pa Kelly and Keith Carmody all recognised for their contributions.

Kerry defeated Meath in the second round of the Christy Ring Cup by 1-23 to 2-18 and in the next round Meath exited the competition against Kildare.

Derry (three players) Down (two), Kildare (two), Mayo, London and Wicklow also have players awarded with a place in the prestigious selection of being the best of the best in this competition in 2015.
