TIPPERARY
Rhys Shelly
Had one or two nervy moments and might have stopped both Eoghan Cahill’s penalty and Cillian Kiely’s 21-yard free. 6/10
Eoghan Connolly
Really solid and has settled into the Tipperary defence nicely in recent games. 7/10
Michael Breen
Carried the ball out really well, won a lot of 50-50s, but occasionally had bother under high deliveries. 7.5/10
Craig Morgan
It was brilliant to see Morgan back after a cruciate, to see him out in front to win ball, but disappointing for him to leave the fray with a hamstring issue. 7/10
Bryan O’Mara
The Holycross-Ballycahill man looked like a Rolls Royce and drove forward time after time. 7.5/10
Ronan Maher
Bossed the aerial exchanges and won plenty of ball. 7/10
Dan McCormack
Gave away a penalty for a swipe on Cillian Kiley which was about 22 yards out, leading to ten minutes in the sin bin. Hit a nice point and worked hard. 7.5/10
Conor Stakelum
Blitzed Offaly for six points from play before finally registering a wide. 8/10
Noel McGrath
Cruised around and dictated at times. 7.5/10
Alan Tynan
Bulldozed through Offaly early and often in the first half, though was less prominent later on. 7/10
Jason Forde
Took his two goals extremely well and looks in fine fettle heading into the Galway clash. 8/10
Séamus Kennedy
Another solid display of tackling and powerful running. 7/10
Jake Morris
Returned from injury and noticeably spilled a lot of ball early on, but was involved in lots of points and setting up goal chances. 7.5/10
Séamus Callanan
Scored his 40th ever championship goal — all from open play — and worked his socks off. 7/10
Mark Kehoe
Man of the match with 3-2 from play. He will need to be just as clinical next weekend. 9/10
Bench impact 7/10
