Reardens All-Stars to honour Cork’s best GAA players again this season

THE Reardens All-Stars reward the best players in the top tier of club GAA in Cork at the end of the season.

The hugely popular scheme has been running since 2012 and this winter four teams of the year will be picked in hurling, football, camogie, and ladies’ football.

The best performers in the club championships will receive All-Stars at a gala night in Reardens Bar, Washington St, while the 2021 All-Star squads will also be honoured, after Covid-19 curtailed last year’s ceremony.

Reardens has long been associated with Cork GAA and the All-Star selections will be hotly debated by a panel of local GAA experts, before they reveal the chosen 15s and the player of the year.

The All-Star line-ups always feature a mix of inter-county panellists, young guns on the rise, and club stalwarts.

Reardens general manager, John Styles, was thrilled to confirm the return of the All-Star awards.

“We are the home of the GAA in Cork,” John Styles said.

“We have a great relationship with all the GAA clubs across the four codes and we are delighted that we can honour the 60 best club players in Cork at the end of their seasons in November.

“From speaking to the players who win these awards, there is a great sense of pride from winning one and sometimes it can be a great honour for the player if their team has not gone on to win a trophy during the season.”

There has already been a host of games in the Cork hurling and football championship, with the camogie action throwing in this weekend and the ladies’ football competitions a week later.
