The Gaelic Players Association has announced its Opel Gaelic Team of the Year for Football with the 15 players being drawn from the six most successful counties in this year's championship - Kerry, Dublin, Mayo, Armagh, Cork and Fermanagh.
With six players selected from Kerry the All-Ireland champions have the largest representation, with Marc Ó Sé, Tom O'Sullivan, Seamus Moynihan, Aidan O'Mahony, Darragh Ó Sé and Kieran Donaghy all being selected.
Losing All-Ireland finalists Mayo managed a respectable three representatives with Alan Dillon, Ciaran McDonald and Conor Mortimer making the cut.
The six remaining places on the team are filled by three Dublin players (Stephen Cluxton, Bryan Cullen and Alan Brogan), Armagh's Ronan Clarke, Cork's Nicholas Murphy and Fermanagh player Barry Owens.
Commenting on the announcement, Chairman of the Football Selection Committee, John O' Mahony, said: "Selecting the nominations for these awards was really difficult after such an absorbing conclusion to the championship.
"Perceptions can change over the course of a single game yet I am happy that the team chosen by the GPA membership reflects well on the football season."
Dessie Farrell, Chief Executive of the Gaelic Players' Association said, "The inaugural Opel Gaelic Team of the Year reflects really well on a growing GPA membership and its ability to help shape the future of Gaelic Games."
"Outside of an All-Ireland medal, I know of no other accolade I would rather have than the acknowledgement of fellow players so I hope that all the winners will cherish their 2006 award."
