Ulster players dominate the Minor Football Team of the Year selection, as they take an incredible 11 places out of the 15 available.
All-Ireland champions Derry make up the lion's share of the team as six players from the Oakleaf county earn their spot, with others unlucky to lose out.
Derry beat Monaghan in an all-Ulster final, that resulted in them winning their second All-Ireland in just a three year period at minor level.
With the senior team winning back to back Ulster titles, and reaching consecutive semi-finals, the future certainly looks bright for the men in red.
Monaghan were worthy adversaries in the final and five of their players made it into the team, including Tommy Mallen and Seán Óg McElwain in the half forward line, who both play for Scotstown.
Kerry have two players in the team, both from Austin Stacks, while corner back Eoin McGreal from Mayo and Ryan Mitchell from Dublin are the sole representatives of their counties.
Derry star Johnny McGuckian, from Watty Graham's Glen, has picked up the Player of the Year award, and it wouldn't surprise anyone if we started seeing this young man feature more for the club's very successful senior team that reached last year's All-Ireland club final.
