Dublin Blue Stars
This article is missing information about years other than 2006 and 2007. (November 2025) |
The Dublin Bus/Evening Herald Dubs Stars Football/Hurling are the players chosen as the top Gaelic football and hurling players in their given position in the year that the Blue stars awards are awarded. The Dublin Blue Stars are a similar award to the GAA All Stars Awards which are awarded annually by the Gaelic Athletic Association. Dublin traditionally play against the Blue stars team in a challenge match, which proves to be an opportunity to see and try out new players for the Dublin football and Hurling teams.
The 2006 Blues Star football challenge match ended with Dublin winning the game by a scoreline of 3–17 to 0–12.[1] The 2006 Blue Star Hurling match was also won by Dublin, the game finished on a scoreline of 2–19 to 0–10.[2] Both 2007 Blue Stars games finished level at full-time and both games were forced into penalties and the Blue Stars won on both occasions.[3][4]
