    I’d have given it to Lee Chin. He was monumental all over the field. Right up to the last play when he won the ball in front of his goalie. Not to mention some of the monster scores he got. O’Connor was excellent as well though and the goal won the game for them

    You could have easily given it to 5 or 6 limerick players and nobody would have complained. They are a supurb team and i am very impressed with there backs. Tipp forwards got noting. Tipp will be back though just Bonner Maher is a massive loss
