MICHAEL MURPHY AND Neil Gallagher have joined Ryan McHugh on the All-Stars trip to Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
The 29-strong party representing the 2015 and 2016 All-Star winners flew out from Dublin today.
McHugh was the sole Donegal representative in the 2016 All-Stars which were recently presented in Dublin and was yesterday confirmed as Donegal’s Footballer of the Year for 2016, too.
The touring panel is made up of a number of 2015 and 2016 All-Stars, while due to the fact that there are several back-to-back All-Stars and a number of other players unable to travel, the GAA has been in a position to recognise and honour players with inclusion on the trip.
They include Donegal captain Murphy (pictured above by Geraldine Diver) and fellow Glenswilly man Gallagher.

Uachtarán CLG Aogán Ó Fearghail will lead the party which will also include team managers Liam Kearns, Tipperary (2016 team) and Mickey Harte, Tyrone (2015 team).
