2. Craig Morgan Rating: 7/10 A late, late inclusion in the starting line up after Cathal Barrett was withdrawn due to illness, Morgan did little wrong in his time on the pitch. He operarted as the spare man for much of the game but didn't have the same influence and protection as Paddy Snyth at the other end, but he was solid for a guy who was originally not meant to feature.

3. Brian McGrath Rating: 6/10 A really tough evening for Brian McGrath, who had his hands full all game long with Ronan Hayes proving menacing. Pace seems to be a real issue for the Loughmore man as he was left for dust for Dublin's second goal. He may be better suited to the half back line because he seems to have too much hurling for full back.

4. Eoghan Connolly Rating: 6/10 Not a natural position for the Cashel man, he struggled to keep tabs on Fergal Whitely throughout the game, with the corner forward scoring 1-1. Like McGrath, Connolly is more of a ball playing defender in the half back line and would be better suited in that kind of role. Tough day out, but early days yet for the youngster.

5. Robert Byrne Rating: 7/10 Byrne had a decent outing in his first start of the league, scoring two lovely points from distance which is one of the strengths of his game. He wasn't as prominent in open play in the second half and struggled to keep the Dublin half forwards in Danny Sutcliffe and Rian McBride quiet, but all in all, he was one of Tipp's better performers on the night.
