6. Gavin O'Halloran (Carrick Swans) The heartbeat of the Carrick Swans team, O'Halloran had a fantastic year. There are few hurlers at this grade who have the hurling ability of O'Halloran and he can be happy with the contriubtion he brought to his team this year.

7. Cian Flanagan (Newport) Playing for a relegated team and getting into the Team of the Year is a fantastic feat for Cian Flanagan. Newport struggled so often throughout the year, but Flanagan always stood tall and his scoring touch from wing back was outstanding as he finished with a whopping 0-13 from play and one sideline cut.

8. Eoghan Connolly (Cashel King Cormacs) A player that seems to be improving every year, Cashel can be happy that they have a real leader in Eoghan Connolly. He was an 8 out of 10 in every game for Cashel and was easily their most consistent performer this year.

9. Patrick Deegan (Sean Treacys) Without Pat Deegan, Sean Treacys would have struggled to maintain their championship status. He was the best player in the relegation final games and he led by example to drag his team to safety.
