The Sunday Game Name Their Hurling Team of the Year As O'Donnell Earns Top Gong

The Sunday Game's panel of pundits have picked their team of the year.

Clare lead the way on the team having beat Cork to win only their fifth ever All-Ireland senior hurling title on Sunday afternoon.

The Munster rivals played out an all-time classic in Croke Park going all the way to extra-time with Clare eventually emerging with two points to spare.

Having looked in trouble early on in their Munster campaign losing their first two games against Waterford and Clare, Cork battled back and they're also strongly represented on the team.

Among the unlucky absentees are Aaron Gillane, Cathal O'Neill, Ciaran Joyce and David Blanchfield, John Conlon and Diarmuid Ryan.

The panel named Shane O'Donnell as The Sunday Game Hurler of the year.
