The PremierView Podcast Senior Team of the Week.
1.Rhys Shelly Moycarkey Borris
Another fine performance by the man hoping to get in between the sticks for Tipperay in 2025. Rhys added another 2 points to his tally in Round 3 to end up with 2-04 from the group stages. Vital shot stopping and precision puck outs continue to flow for Rhys.
2. Jimmy Ryan – Clonoulty
Jimmy led Clonoulty from defense in Round 3 of the Senior Championship, when Clonoulty had to put the shoulder to the wheel to avoid another relegation dogfight and got the job done in taking care of Templederry.
3. Denis Maher – Thurles Sarsfields
Denis has been a revelation since going back into the fullback line for Thurles Sarsfields. Another cracking performance against Roscrea.
4. David Sweeney – Kiladangan
Everyone knows the scoring power of Kiladangan and the men who do the damage. But at the other end of the field, cool heads are needed and David is just that. David has come up against some top class forwards over the last few weeks and held firm against them all.
5. Bryan O’Mara – Hollycross/Ballycahill
Bryan was on the losing team in Round 3 but his performance was a winning one you’d feel. Bryan was trying his hardest to rally the troops from 6 and came out with some great interceptions when needed.
6. Alan Flynn – Kiladangan
A forward scoring 5 points from play is a marker, a halfback doing it…. that’s above and beyond. But Alan knocked over 5 points in Round 3 v Jk Brackens, along with marshaling his defense in the half back line. A handful when running at the opposition half back line.
7. Podge Campion – Drom-Inch
Podge was one of the big factors in Drom-Inch getting the win over Borris-lleigh in Round 3 to avoid the relegation battle. Podge was a powerhouse in the Drom half back line and knocked a point over the bar too. 0-05 from play, in Total for his 2024 Senior Hurling Championship campaign.
8. Noel McGrath – Loughmore Castleiney
Noel, a solid pick week in week out in our Team of the Week. The Loughmore sticksman showed his class again knocking a point over his shoulder from halfway to finish with 2 points. He dropped deep when Loughmore needed a dig out to see them over the line in Round 3 v Nenagh Eire Og.
9. Mason Cawley – Nenagh Eire Og
Mason was electric around the middle of the park for Nenagh, end to end stuff from the Nenagh Eire Og man who will be hoping to continue on his form going up against Thurles Sarsfields in the Quarter Final.. 0-03 from Play so far this Year.
10. Eoin McIntyre – Lorrha
Some may say Lorrha had the team performance of the round, and they wouldn’t be far wrong. Eoin netted 2 goals and the same amount of points in round 3 to get the win over Holycross/Ballycahill and do the job they had to do. Only their North neighbors,, Nenagh couldn’t do the same job and save them from relegation.
11. Max Hackett – Moycarkey Borris
Moycarkey had big performances all over the field last weekend, but Max stood up when needed to score 2-1 and get a huge win to get Moycarkey into the knockout stages of the County Championship, a long time waiting for the Mid men. 3-05 from Play, so far.
12. Paul Flynn – Kiladangan
Paul couldn’t let brother Alan outscore him in Round 3, so Paul upped the levels and finished with 1-08 from play against JKB which gets him to 4-14 from play in the group stages to top the scoring from play charts.
13. Darragh Woods – Holycross/Ballycahll
Darragh did everything in his power to get Holycross over the line v Lorrha, but fell up short. The Cross man scored 2-10 with 2-05 from play in a mighty performance. 2-21 in the Senior Championship for 2024.
14. Seamie Callanan – Drom-Inch
Drom needed a few big swings to get the win over Borris-lleigh in round 3 and their marque men stood up. Seamie came away with 13 points and 5 from play and had the composure needed to get the win. Seamie sees out the Year with a 1-27 total.
15. Darragh McCarthy – Toomevara
Another fine performance in a game where half the Kilruane back line ended up marking Darragh at some stage. 1-12 for Darragh with 2 from play. Bringing his total to 1-34 from the group stages. Darragh is involved in everything good about the Toome attack at present and will be a handful going into the knockout stages.
