10. Alan Tynan Rating: 5/10 As quiet a game as Tynan has had in a long time; definitely in this league campaign at the very least. With Tipperary at sea in the second quarter, Tynan did get into good positions at times despite the dominance of his Cork counterparts, but his decision making in possession left a lot to be desired as he hit some awful wides before being withdrawn in the middle of the second half.

14. Jake Morris Rating: 7/10 A player that is much maligned by his own, Morris didn’t tear it up by any means but he can easily be pointed out as one of Tipperary’s better performers on the day. He worked hard all game long, hit some fine points and won several frees to be converted, especially in the first half when the game was turning in Cork’s favour.

12. Gearoid O'Connor Rating: 5/10 O’Connor was anonymous for much of the game before his withdrawal. He has the ability and the physical size that you would associate with a modern day half-forward but, for whatever reason, he really struggles in the physical stakes and can’t impose himself on games. His place on the team is far from certain at this point on the basis of the evidence we have seen in the league.

13. Darragh McCarthy Rating: 5/10 Like O’Farrell, the jaded look on McCarthy could be seen by all in attendance. The deliveries into him were 50/50 at best on a number of occasions as Sean O’Donoghue stuck to the young Toomevara man all game long. The full forward line had little to work with but anytime McCarthy was favourite for possession, he left the ball after him and that would be a disappointment for him. All things considered, McCarthy has had a magnificent league campaign in his first year at this level, hitting 2-48. His participation in the U20 championship will be contentious now with so many big games to come at senior level.
