Alan Connolly (Cork)
For the second match in a row, Alan Connolly struck a hat-trick of goals for the Cork hurlers, this time in a comfortable victory over Wexford. The in-form target-man finished the game with a personal tally of 3-3.
Adam English (Limerick)
One of the rising stars of Limerick hurling, English did his claims for a starting spot in John Kiely’s championship XV a lot of good with a very impressive performance in their draw against Galway. In difficult playing conditions, the lively attacker struck five sweet points.
Daithi Sands (Down)
The in-form Daithi Sands was superb again for the Down hurlers at the weekend. He scored 3-3 from play in a victory over Meath that secured a place in the Division 2A semi-final for the Mourne men.
