11. Cathal Bourke (Clonoulty Rossmore) Bourke was the only Clonoulty Rossmore forward to play to their potential last Sunday afternoon. Hit his frees to his usual high standard but scored an additional 1-2 from play with his goal very well taken. Playing well.

12. Tommy Nolan (Drom & Inch) A man that is firmly hovering on the Tipperary management's radar, with another really impressive performance. He finished with 1-3 from play and is just so dangerous at the moment, with his goal a real poacher's finish, fielding a high ball before ghosting in behind to lash to the net. Looks to be in his top form consistently now.

13. Darragh McCarthy (Toomevara) It is hard to believe that young Darragh McCarthy is only 18-years of age in his first year of adult hurling, such is his maturity of performance and finishing prowess. Some of his scores were incredible, and his early goal set the tone, showing great pace and clinical finishing. He has added real threat to the Toome attack.

14. Sean Ryan (Templederry Kenyons) It’s funny to say that Ryan didn’t play unbelievably well in a match where he scored 1-5 from play, but such is the level at which he is delivering scores in recent games for Templederry, he couldn’t be left out of this team. He hit some poor wides at stages in the game which is unlike him, but he was constantly in front of his man and posed a huge threat to Upperchurch all game.
