TWO Donegal players were included among the Irish News Ulster All-Star Award winners last night.

Hugh McFadden and Jamie Brennan were named in a side dominated by Ulster champions Cavan.

Killybegs man McFadden partners Thomas Galligan of Cavan at midfield, while Bundoran’s Brennan was included in the full-forward line.

Galligan was one of 12 Breffni players ames in the fifteen. Cavan’s victory over Donegal sealed a first Ulster title since 1997.

McManus is the only player from a county other than Ulster finalists Cavan and Donegal to be named.

Last night, the awards were held remotely, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and were hosted by Lynette Fay.
