6. Ronan Maher Rating: 7/10 Continues to mark in steady levels of performance in this league campaign. Found himself following Neil Montgomery up the field on occasion and hit a couple of poor wides, but any balls going near his sector more often than not ended up in his possession.

7. Seamus Kennedy Rating: 7/10 While he was named at wing back, he started the game in the wing forward position and put in a massive shift up and down the pitch all day. Has had better games in terms of scoring and setting up chances but he looks a nailed on there for championship.

8. Conor Stakelum Rating: 7/10 Had a really big battle with Jamie Barron all game and really clamped down on the former All Star in the second half. He has that bit of cut that Tipperary badly needed in the middle of the field, and he brought a reaction out of Barron which led to his red card. A certainty to start, injuries permitting.

9. Noel McGrath Rating: 7/10 Like everyone around him he struggled to curtail the deep runs of Calum Lyons but he was brilliant again for large spells, dropping deep regularly do deliver possession inside. Probably would be better suited at centre forward but a good performance nonetheless.
