Entrusted with free-taking duties during the game, the 2016 All-Ireland winning captain came forward in injury-time to shoot over the point that put the Tipperary champions in front 0-20 to 1-14.

He gestured to the sideline after that free that he needed a new hurley but remained up in attack from the resultant puck-out and when St Thomas lost possession, it was worked to the 2019 All-Star winner in the left corner where the broken hurley didn’t prevent him swinging over this glorious shot.
There are no words.... takes a free..... breaks the camán.... point goes over.... runs in to make a block on the goalie..... gets the sliotar back.... scores a point with a half a camán..... #GAABEOpic.twitter.com/r5k9MBCIex
After playing starring roles in Tipperary and Borris-Ileigh successes in 2019, Maher’s super form has continued and he’ll be central to their hopes of All-Ireland club glory when they take on Ballyhale Shamrocks in Croke Park in a fortnight.
Whoops!
