The selection process began with 170 players nominated by their schools. After two rigorous rounds of trials, the final 30 were chosen, representing 23 schools and eight counties across the province.

Leading the way in school representation are Loreto Cavan, the Ulster U20 A winners, with three players selected. Notably, this marks a second All-Star selection for Aine McAllister, Katie Dowds, Hannah Donaghy, and Cliodhna Logan, highlighting their consistency and excellence in the sport.

The All-Stars will showcase their skills in an in-house game at Ulster University Jordanstown (UUJ) on Thursday, March 6. They will then be honoured at a special awards banquet in Canavan’s, Garvaghey, on Friday, March 21, where they will also receive a unique, one-off MFC Sports kit.
