Ulster GAA Writers to pick jubilee hurling team 1988-2012

[UGAAWA]

To mark its 25th year, the Quinn Direct Ulster GAA Writers' Association has selected Ulster Jubilee football and hurling teams from all its award winners over the past 25 years. Some 150 footballers and close to 40 hurlers have collected the coveted Belleek vase since 1988, so the choosing of the final line-ups caused some lively debate amongst the writers.

The jubilee team will join the Ulster GAA Writers and guests at the Jubilee Banquet at the Great Northern Hotel, Bundoran on December 7. A number of tickets are still available for the night.

What most Ulster GAA writers know about hurling can be written on the back of a postage stamp with a crayon.

I thought one of the Biggs would have been nominated from Derry.  Big Geoffrey should be a cert on the team never mind the nomination list and is Bernard O'Brien's inclusion a joke?  Have they McKeever simply down under the wrong County and the biggest balls up is no Paul Braniff.

Agree with Johnnycool. They veer towards players who have performed well one off in a club match in Casement.

Not even, it's who normally lobs over the frees, indeed a skill in itself, but one of many on display yet missed by the journo's who in all fairness expertise is in the english language and grammar, not hurling.
