It’s been a long wait since the end of the 2021 inter-county campaign but on Friday night at the Osprey Hotel in Naas, the 2021 Soaring Star and Camogie All-Star awards were finally announced.

While Galway dominated the senior selection with eight, there were four places on the All-Star team for Kilkenny with Áine Fahey’s predictions fairly on the money earlier this week.

The remaining All-Stars Awards went to Cork with the Rebels earning three All-Stars Awards.

The champions are represented through goalkeeper Sarah Healy, defenders Shauna Healy and Sarah Dervan, midfielder Niamh Kilkenny and forwards Aoife Donohue, Siobhan McGrath, Orlaith McGrath and Ailish O’Reilly.

Championship semi-finalists and National League winners Kilkenny are represented in defence through Davina Tobin and Meghan Farrell while Denise Gaule and Katie Nolan feature in the forwards.

Championship runners-up Cork are represented through Laura Hayes and Laura Treacy in defence and Hannah Looney claiming a midfield accolade.
