14. Mark Kehoe Rating: 7/10 The Kilsheelan Kilcash man has come in for a fair share of the criticism over the years when the results weren’t going Tipp’s way, but it must be said that he was one of the few players to come away from Thurles on Sunday with credit. He sniped the early goal at the start of the game and although he didn’t score thereafter, he was directly involved in assisting at least six points and won a lot of possession throughout to keep the Tipperary attack with some potency.

26. Darragh Stakelum Rating: 5/10 It is hard to be too critical of Stakelum considering his inexperience at this level. He did well in the first half, scoring two points but could easily have fed Noel McGrath for a certain goal during the taking of his second, but he did keep plugging away despite the momentum going Cork’s way. It’s early in his Tipperary career and you would be hopeful that this result doesn’t scar him or stunt his progress in the next few years.
