10. Jake Morris Rating: 7/10 More like it from the Éire Óg man. Hit a couple of poor wides early, but he brought great energy and his run for the O'Connor goal was trademark. Good to see him coming back to form.

11. Kevin McCarthy Rating: 5/10 A day to forget for the older McCarthy brother. It was a tough ask to be in the half-forward given the wind present in the first half, and the ball just never broke his way. Hopefully, he can get another chance to stake a claim.

7. Joe Caesar Rating: 5/10 Another player who will have few fond memories from this game. Tried hard to get into play but like McCarthy, the game largely passed him by.

9. John McGrath Rating: 8/10 A clinical first half goal in a 1-4 shooting display from the Hurler of the Year helped McGrath to the Player of the Match award. Clinical is the word for McGrath, who just tends to take advantage of all opportunities presented.
