Lennon became Louth's first All-Star since Paddy Keenan's remarkable 2010 season, and just the county's second-ever.

GAA legend praises Craig Lenno

Mayo GAA legend Lee Keegan has heaped praise upon Craig Lennon after the Louth footballer was named as a member of the 2024 PwC All-Star team.

The St Mochta's half-back had a wonderful season for the wee county, notching 4-7 from play in the Championship as Louth were narrowly beaten by Dublin in the Leinster final before losing out to Donegal in the last-8 of the All-Ireland series.

Lennon becomes just the second All-Star from Louth, following in the footsteps of St Patrick's legend Paddy Keenan, who was named as an All-Star in 2010 after Louth's famous run to the Leinster final.

Reacting to Lennon's achievement, Keegan, a five-time All-Star during his intercounty career for Mayo, took to social media, posting: "Craig Lennon" with a string of clapping emojis.

Lennon wasn't the only Louth player to have a fantastic season, with Donal McKenny, Sam Mulroy and Tommy Durnin all being nominated for an All-Star.

Half-forward Ciarán Downey would almost certainly have been nominated had injury not curtailed his involvement in the All-Ireland series.

Lennon and co will likely be Dublin's biggest challengers in Leinster next season, and with the two teams on opposite sides of the draw, a third final meeting in a row between red and blue could be on the cards barring any shocks in the early rounds.

2024 PwC All Star Football Team: Niall Morgan (Tyrone), Johnny McGrath (Galway), Barry McCambridge (Armagh), Peadar Mogan (Donegal), Dylan McHugh (Galway), Aidan Forker (Armagh), Craig Lennon (Louth), Ben Crealey (Armagh), Paul Conroy (Galway), Rian O'Neill (Armagh), John Maher (Galway), Oisin Conaty (Armagh), Robert Finnerty (Galway), Oisin Gallen (Donegal), Conor Turbitt (Armagh).
