Brecon Kavanagh - Brecon Kavanagh continues to emerge as a real force of nature. He does things in an almost understated way but was superbly effective. He got in so many of the little flicks and blocks that count, cut out a huge volume of ball and gave great accurate clearances. Very close to man of the match. Rating – 9

Ter Guinan - Ter Guinan showed great pace as he covered runners and shut down space. A steady game. Rating – 7

Colin Spain - Offaly's midfield is doing very well and Colin Spain put in another powerful hour's work. His work rate was superb and he was very good on the ball. Rating – 8

Cathal King - Cathal King got through a lot of the necessary hard work around the middle. He hit hard, took hits and mopped up a lot of ball. Rating – 8
