GAA.ie Hurler of the Week nominees

Kyle Hayes (Limerick)

The 20-year-old centre-forward was outstanding in Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC Final, decisively winning his head-to-head battle with Galway’s power-house centre-back Gearoid McInerney.

Hayes scored four really classy points, tackled Galway ball-carriers with great ferocity, and was a hugely important ball-winning outlet in attack throughout the match for the Treaty County.

Joe Canning (Galway)

Canning crowned another brilliant season with a heroic performance for Galway in Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC Final.

He did his best to inspire his team-mates by bringing the fight to Limerick all day and finished with a personal tally of 1-10. He was the driving force behind Galway’s unlikely comeback in injury-time that fell just short.

Declan Hannon

Limerick centre-back Hannon produced a captain’s display in the All-Ireland Final.

He mopped up a huge amount of ball in front of his full-back line and his clearances were almost always well judged. He crowned a fine performance with two inspirational first-half points.
