÷DUBLIN ace Con O’Callaghan will pick up his second All-Star inside six months this weekend. O’Callaghan was named in the inaugural AIB Club Hurling team of the year — which are modelled on the inter-county AllStars — to add to the football All-Star and young player of the year gong he won last year, And there could be even better to follow as he is also short-listed for club hurler of the year, along with Cuala team-mate Sean Moran and Na Piarsaigh’s Michael Casey, with the winner to be revealed at a

banquet in Croke Park this Saturday night, when both the football — which was revealed last week — and hurling selections will be honoured. AIB CLUB HURLING TEAM
