Donegal hurling stars Luke White and Danny Cullen make 2023 ‘Champions 15’ 

Donegal senior hurling stars Luke White and Danny Cullen have both been selected in this season’s Ring, Rackard and Meagher Champion 15.

Meath lead the way claiming an impressive five spots on this formidable team, with a further five counties also represented. 

The Royal contingent in the 2023 Champion 15 is made up of defenders Sean Geraghty,  Simon Ennis, and James Toher, who are joined by their clinical forwards Jack Regan and  Éamon Óg Ó Donnchadha. 

Nicky Rackard Cup victors, Wicklow, take up three places on the team with the full back jersey going to Andrew Kavanagh, while Christy Moorehouse and Andy O’Brien make up a  lethal full-forward line. 

The Derry hurlers’ fine Christy Ring Cup performances have yielded two awards in the shape  of defender Riche Mullan and midfielder Cormac O’Doherty. 

Nicky Rackard runners-up Donegal are represented by Carndonagh clubman White who takes up the goalkeeper jersey, and wing back Danny Cullen of Setanta, after their fine performances in the competition. 

Monaghan’s Lory Meagher Cup success is reflected in the shape of Niall Garland and forward  Niall Arthur who both claim a spot on this year’s Champion 15 selection. 

The remaining slot on this stunning team goes to Lancashire forward Conor Madden, who takes up the wing-forward position.
