6. Darren O'Connor (Roscrea) A steady influence at the heart of the Roscrea defence, O'Connor held firm throughout the game as the attack didn't hit expected heights. Held the lines well and his use of the ball was very assured.

7. Sammy Ryan (St Marys) A man with huge energy, Ryan makes the team yet again and was one of the few shining lights for the Clonmel men in defeat. Always poses an attacking threat does Ryan, and he showed that again as he whipped over 0-2 from play.

8. Daniel Ryan (Roscrea) His work rate this championship has been phenomenal for Roscrea, as he got through another mountain of work against Burgess. He carried endless possession from defence to attack and always puts his stamp on the game.

9. Danny Ryan (Burgess) Deployed as a sweeper for most of the game, Ryan had a very good effect on the early Burgess dominance, helping to quell a really potent Roscrea attack.
