TIPPERARY’S 28TH ALL-IRELAND was delivered by a cast of outstanding performers — but only one can be named man of the match this evening.
Both Paudie Maher and Ronan Maher were the standouts in the Tipp rearguard, while Barry Heffernan and Seamus Kennedy will also have won plenty of fans with their performances on Sunday.
Noel McGrath delivered a creative masterclass from his midfield berth once again, capping his fine summer with one final flourish.
John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer scored 1-2 while captain and leader Seamus Callanan also finished with 1-2 (1-1 from play), and John McGrath chipped in with 0-3 in a towering performance.

McCormack is a super player, covers acres of ground and always contributes a score or two.
How did Mccormack and John McGrath not start last week ffs. Hope it’s not too late.
@Michael Gleeson: Tipp impressive last week, albeit in a loss. Better than I thought they would be. Not sure about Flynn in midfield, McCormack a better option alright. Fully expect a win v Clare
Hard to call the outcome of this game . Clare will be the underdogs but will give them everything. Another great game to look forward to
@Finnster: should be a cracker , maybe a slight advantage to Tipp having a game under our belts .But then you add in Tony Kelly to the mix .
Clare by 4 .as long as James Owens doesn’t act the B+×=$x
