Limerick pair Diarmaid Byrnes and Barry Nash vie for top gong along with Kilkenny's TJ Reid

Limerick duo Diarmaid Byrnes and Barry Nash and Kilkenny’s TJ Reid have been shortlisted for the PwC Hurler of the Year award.

Byrnes and Nash are two of 12 Limerick players nominated for the PwC All Star awards, while Reid is among a contingent of eight from Kilkenny, with the list of 45 completed by players from Clare, Galway (eight each), Coke (three), Wexford (two), Dublin, Tipperary, Westmeath and Waterford (one each).

Should either of the Limerick pair win the award, it would be the first time for a defender to claim the most prestigious individual prize in the game since Kilkenny’s Tommy Walsh was honoured back in 2009.
