Finn was exceptional for John Kielyโ€™s side in 2019, winning his second consecutive All Star award last month.

Finn was named Man of the Match in the Munster championship game against Clare and barely put a foot wrong throughout the championship.

Like Finn, Oโ€™Neill was named on the All Star team for the second consecutive year as Limerick also fell to Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-final.

In Munster however, Oโ€™Neill showed his class and was captain on the day as Limerick won a first Minor Munster title since 2014.
