All-Ireland finalists Dingle and St Brigid’s dominate the AIB club football team of the year, with five and four players named respectively.

The Kerry side beat St Brigid’s 0-23 to after extra-time in a classic in January.

The three nominations for AIB club footballer of the year come from the two sides also, St Brigid’s Ruaidhrí Fallon and Dingle’s Tom O’Sullivan and Dylan Geaney.

O’Sullivan and Conor Flannery feature in defence from Dingle, with Mark O’Connor in midfield and the Geaney cousins, Dylan and Paul, in the forwards.
