Seamus Callanan named All-Ireland final man of the match - and who'd argue?

Thirteen-point haul helped Tipp end their wait for Liam MacCarthy.

ON AN AFTERNOON of outstanding Tipperary performances, one stood head and shoulders above the rest.

And tonight at Dublin’s Burlington Hotel, full-forward Seamus Callanan was named as the All-Ireland final man of the match.

The Drom & Inch sharpshooter finished with a remarkable 13 points, nine of which came from play, as Tipp ran out nine-point winners against Kilkenny in Croke Park.

With more than 4,500 votes cast on The42 since full time, Callanan had received 69% at the time of writing.

John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer and Ronan Maher were the other Tipperary players shortlisted by the Sunday Game panel of Eddie Brennan, Cyril Farrell and Brendan Cummins.
