MOTM All-Ireland hurling final ...Cats V Stonethrowers...

MOTM?

Loads of candidates, the entire Tipp defence and mid field, and up front McGrath and Kelly. And the goalie.

From Kilkenny JJ, Rice, Fennelly, Power and the awesome Larkin, the best forward on display in the game.

However, having been cast aside after the Cork debacle, and then moved to left half, Paraic Maher was outstanding, and deserves it.

Or we could be like soccer and give it to yer man who scored the tap in goals.

And, yes, I AM a hurling snob.

For years I have argued that Mullane, brennan and Lar are not the real deal, when it matters.

Well lar was in the right place 3 times yesterday, Eddie proved me right, but I was wrong about Mullane.

He is a serious hurler.

Strange to relate in last years semi Lar was awful, andscored 3 goals.

He then had a great final, but was not considered for MOTM.

Pat Kenny - a man I reckon never held a hurley in his life but was at the game yesterday - and thought Wadding had a very poor game. So he was obviously great. Don't think he liked the skirmishes .... not the D4 way I suppose.
