Brian Fenton won his first All-Star after his breakthrough at midfield this term, while Dublin took home seven awards in total.

Rory O’Carroll, Philly McMahon, Cian O’Sullivan, Jack McCaffrey, Brian Fenton, Ciaran Kilkenny and Bernard Brogan all secured the prizes after their performances in 2015.

All-Ireland runners up Kerry secured four awards; first timers Brendan Kealy and Shane Enright along with Anthony Maher and Donnchadh Walsh.

Mayo secured two with Lee Keegan at wing back complimented by Aidan O’Shea’s award at full-forward.

Monaghan picked up one thanks to Conor McManus while Tyrone’s sole representative is Mattie Donnelly.

The player of the year award was given to Jack McCaffrey, while the Young Player of the Year award was snatched by Diarmuid O’Connor.
