BREAKING: 11 of Mayos All-Ireland kings nominated for All-Stars

Mayos historic 2026 All-Ireland winning campaign has been rewarded with a whopping eleven nominees for the All-Star awards.

This campaign has been one like no other for Andy Moran and his men. From the pain of the Roscommon loss in the Connacht series, this band of brothers embarked on an awe-inspiring journey.

On July 26, that journey ended in the promised land, vanquishing Kerry to end the 75-year wait and bring Sam Maguire back to sit under the shadow of Croagh Patrick.

As such, there was always going to be a hefty number of nominations for the prestigious All-Stars, awarded to those who shine brightest across the year. Here, we'll run you through Mayo's nominees.

Well start between the sticks. Since his Championship debut against Monaghan in Clones, Jack Livingstone has been exemplary, pulling off many game-changing saves and proving a cool head at the back.

Ahead of him, five men occupy the defensive nominations. Sam Callinan was his typical self, bombing forward down the flank and causing hassle at both ends.

The leadership and tenacity shown by captain Jack Coyne have seen him rightly put forward, while Enda Hession brought both rigorous defensive work and ability to get in on the act at the other end of the turf had drawn acclaim.

Donnacha Mchugh is another who formed part of a water-tight rearguard which snuffed out the threats of Cork, Louth, and Kerry en route to the Holy Grail, while David McBrien helped put the shackles on some fearsome attackers.

Moving into the midfield, one player from this neck of the woods makes the six-man shortlist. Jack Carney showed skill and courage in abundance in the engine room, with his two-pointer when the Kingdom looked to be gaining momentum in the decider as vital as it is historic.

Lastly, but most certainly not least, we move to the forwards. Jordan Flynn showed the heart of a lion on multiple occasions, coming up with clutch moments to help spur his team on to victory.

Also nominated was his brother and fellow baller, Kobe McDonald. This teenager lit up many stages across the country with his silky skills and sumptuous scores, intrinsic to ending the famine.

Fellow teenage kicker Darragh Beirne is also included on the list. The ability of this flame-haired ace attacker to come up with clutch moments is off the charts.

Speaking of off the charts, the work-rate and heart of a lion shown by Ryan O'Donoghue in the final deserves a nomination alone. Add into that his dizzying scoring rate, and you've all the makings of an All-Star.

The All-Star awards will be revealed on Friday, October 30 in the RDS, Dublin.
