Energetic centrefielder Barron burst through to blast the decisive goal for Derek McGrath's Waterford, who earned a first Championship win over the Cats since 1959.

Alan Cadogan (Cork)

The pacy Alan Cadogan was in great scoring form during Sunday's Munster Final in Thurles.

Cadogan registered 1-4 for Cork, causing Clare all sorts of problems throughout the encounter at Semple Stadium.

Willing to show for possession, Cadogan was clinical converting opportunities too, and played a lead role for Cork.

Séamus Callanan (Tipperary)

The Drom-Inch club man was in excellent scoring form for Tipperary against Dublin on Saturday evening.

The prolific Callanan struck 3-11, including 3-4 from play as Tipperary advanced to the Quarter-Final stage.

Callanan tormented an outclassed Dublin, who failed to deal with the classy Drom-Inch clubman.
