The 2018 PwC All-Star Football Nominations have been revealed and it will come as no surprise that Dublin dominate.

Jim Gavin's side have 12 names on the Team of the Year shortlist after winning their fourth All Ireland final in a row against Tyrone.

Tyrone themselves have seven nominees on the Team of the Year list, with Galway and Monaghan also weighing with the same number each.

The remainder of the breakdown is Kildare and Donegal with three each, Kerry (2) and Armagh, Carlow, Fermanagh and Laois receiving one nomination each.

And that Dublin dominance carries over into the individual stakes where all three All Star Footballer of the Year nominees are Dublin representatives with Brian Fenton, Jack McCaffrey and Ciaran Kilkenny vying for the honour.

Brian Howard is the sole Dublin representative in the Young Player shortlist alongside Kerry starlet David Clifford and Tyrone's Michael McKernan.

The final 15 that make up the PwC All-Star Football team of 2018 will be presented with their awards at a gala black-tie banquet in Dublin’s Convention Centre on Friday, November 2nd.
