14. Darragh McCarthy Rating: 6/10 A lot is expected of McCarthy at such a young age and it was a mixed bag for his first competitive start for Tipperary. As usual, he hit his frees fairly well despite the testing conditions in Galway and took his penalty brilliantly early in the first half. Like Ormond, he worked very hard out of possession and was a good target throughout without dazzling from play. Still, he set up some scores and got the full game against seasoned players in Fintan Burke and Jack Grealish.

15. Dylan Walsh Rating: 8/10 At 27 years old, he can hardly be called one of the new kids on the block but the Ballingarry man will have excited supporters with what he can bring to Tipperary this year. He looked like a player who has had a lot more appearances at this level, scoring some fine points, winning the first-half penalty, and banging in a class second-half goal to seal the win. It couldn't have gone much better for him.
