****All-Star Challenge****

We now exclusively reveal the transfer window is now open with some controversial moves afoot.

The Dubs with their huge war-chest have snapped up Stephen Buckley and got rid of Ross Peters on a bosman to Kilkenny.

Antrim will be devasted to have lost Gavin Ryan to the Galway team having steered them to the top of the leaderboard. Gearoid Buckley did his level best in Wexford trying to get Kevin Ryan into gear but has moved closer to home in place of Matt Barlow in the Deise. Matt meanwhile goes the other direction over the bridge for some strawberries and cream.

The Banner team leader Conor O'Sullivan has had enough of ceili music and joined the premier county for an undisclosed fee replacing Niall Hoctor who moves south to the high flying Rebel county team.

The rest of the mid-table transfers include Łiam Ryan swapping the Cats for Kerry with Enda Dunphy going west to Clare. Kyle Peters has big boots to fill in the Glens of Antrim while Richie Gunne must try and boost the Laois team after a tough period at the bottom of the table.

Over in Limerick, the Treaty men welcome back Michael Murphy who is well used to partying in that particular city.
The only team captain still in contract is Joe McNamara who remains in Donegal following Daniel O Donnells intervention to bump up his wages!.
