1. Martin Sadlier (Clonoulty Rossmore) A man who conceded three goals against Nenagh, but only for the Clonoulty netminder, it could have been a whole lot worse for his side. Particularly in the first half, Sadlier made some excellent saves with Nenagh raining shots on goal, with Sadlier making a fantastic double save. Perhaps he could have done better with Cian Crowley's second half goal, but he is well deserving of his place.

2. Colin Shelly (Mullinahone) Shelly had a very good outing against Toomevara in the Stadium last Saturday. He had a good tussle with Mark McCarthy throughout, and kept the Toome man quiet for most of the game, while his use of the ball was excellent throughout. A consistent performer at this leve.

3. Ronan Maher (Thurles Sarsfields) Maher was in brilliant form against Borris-Ileigh prior to his leg injury in the 40th minute after a collision with Seamus Burke. Left loose for a lot of the game, he was on a mountain of ball and created several scores with his deliveries. Hopefully he will see club action again before the year is out.

4. Conor McCarthy (Nenagh Éire Óg) McCarthy has been a big addition back to Nenagh since returning from a bad injury sustained last year. He was very prominent in the Clonoulty game, and made a match saving block from Stephen Ferncombe deep in injury time.

5. John O'Keeffe (Clonoulty Rossmore) A man who has been performing to a high level for so long, but he doesn't look like slowing down anytime soon. Despite the defence frailties of the defensive unit, O'Keeffe had a very solid game and was constantly on possession and starting attacks. A consummate performer.
