6. Ronan Maher Rating: 8/10 A shining light in what was an otherwise awful year for Tipperary; Maher was immense at six for his side on Sunday. He cleaned up so much possession, won high ball, hit players with tackles and even pointed a booming second half point. He is the full package in terms of ability and leadership but he has been ploughing a lone furrow all year.

7. Brian McGrath Rating: 6/10 Took up the challenge of Peter Duggan from the start and had a good battle all game. Duggan claimed a couple of catches over the Loughmore Castleiney man, but he more than broke even to be fair. Carried ball well but got bottled up a few times and needs to introduced more abrasive and pace to his play.

8. Paddy Cadell Rating: 5/10 Cadell really struggled in Semple Stadium on Sunday. He looked nervous in his play and when he did get on the ball, he didn't make the most of it as Clare dominated the middle of the pitch in the first half particularly. We all know he is a good hurler, but he doesn't seem to get around the pitch well and just drifts out of games for large spells.

9. Willie Connors Rating: 5/10 Cathal Malone and Darragh Lohan won the midfield battle here as Willie Connors was largely an anonymous figure for a lot of the game. Couldn't get his hands on the ball by comparison to his Clare opponents. Not his best.
