Congratulations to Bobby Power (Ballincollig) who has been named at corner-forward on the 2026 Electric Ireland Minor Star Hurling Team of the Year, following an outstanding championship campaign in the red jersey.

Power is Cork’s sole representative on this year’s prestigious selection, earning national recognition for his consistently impressive performances throughout the championship. Cork enjoyed an excellent campaign, reaching the Electric Ireland All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship Semi-Final, while Bobby’s displays throughout the year saw him recognised among the country’s top young hurlers.

This year’s Team of the Year is dominated by All-Ireland champions Limerick, who have seven representatives, while runners-up Tipperary have five selections. Cork, Galway and Kilkenny each have one player recognised.
