11. Andrew Ormond Rating: 7/10 Likewise, Ormond had a very jittery first half, and the pinged possessions that he had been sticking all year were just evading him. But it didn't derail him, and he fired over two important points in the third quarter, and gathered so much possession in the championship minutes. What an influence he has had on Tipperary at 11 this year.

12. Sam O'Farrell Rating: 7/10 Moved to midfield in the shuffle, O'Farrell had troubles with Darragh Fitzgibbon in the first half, but he played his part with a massive workrate and smart use of the ball in various patches. He has played a role for the team all year and continued to sacrifice his game for the team. What a player he looks to be, and he can become a key player for Tipperary in the years to come.

10. Jake Morris Rating: 8/10 While the first half shooting would have left him and Tipperary supporters frustrated, he came alive in the second half and played a big part in the revival. He dropped deep to gather so much possession, set up attacks, and score, while his shot for the first John McGrath goal proved to be a huge moment. Late on, he was back blocking goal bound shots and clearing possession, and his overall leadership this year has been massive for Tipp.

13. Darragh McCarthy Rating: 9/10 Shifted to the half-forward line with the spare body dropped back, the 19-year-old left his best game in a Tipperary jersey so far, for the biggest occasion of all. There were questions around whether or not he would hit the frees, but he hit nine frees and scored them all, while also launching over four points from play, and bagging a nerveless penalty that put Tipperary into the ascendancy after Eoin Downey's red card. He answered any questions about his character with this display. Incredible stuff from the Toomevara man.
