Waterford front man Bennett will bring home his first All Star to Ballysaggart. He is the 1,500th All Star recipient. He finished as top scorer in the country on 1-54 and delivered double figures in all five championship games. The main marksman for the Déise shot 5-89 (104) across all competitions.
