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.

Legend. This girls gonna be special.
@Eoin Fitzgerald: she already is
@Thomas Paine: she will only get better with age
Mind blown – that is incredible. Well done.
Maybe if I add a fall into my 5km I’d go faster..?
@Augustus hoop: I’d need to accidentally fall into a car
An outstanding achievement. But she needs to be coached correctly and not pushed too hard too soon. She is after all a child and needs to develop and train as a child and not as an adult. If she is pushed too hard now, she will get injured, burn out and have nowhere to step up to in the coming years, and will ultimately fall out of love with the sport.
@Niall Hearty: Thank you Captain Buzzkill
@Niall Hearty: Yeah, thats what happened to me when I was 5.
Insane
Brilliant stuff. One for the future
