All-Ireland winners Tipperary and beaten finalists Offaly each have four players on this year's Electric Ireland Minor Hurling Team of the Year with Faithful sharpshooter Adam Screeney named as Player of the Year.

Tipp broke Offaly hearts with a late smash and grab to clinch All-Ireland honours last month and goal-scoring hero Paddy McCormack is represented alongside team-mates Sam O’Farrell (captain), Adam Daly and Tom Delaney.

Screeney, who fired 5-51 in a magical campaign as a 22-year Leinster MHC famine was ended, leads the Offaly quartet alongside Kilcormac/Killoughey clubmate James Mahon, defender Donal Shirley and Faithful skipper Dan Ravenhill.

Galway are represented with goalkeeper Donagh Fahy, midfielder Rory Burke and exciting attacker Aaron Niland while Clare have two players featured with corner-back Eoghan Gunning and No 6 James Hegarty also selected.

The remaining two spots are filled by the Laois pair of Ciarán Flynn and Ben Deegan after the O'Moore men had a memorable campaign which included an historic Leinster semi-final victory over Kilkenny.
