POTW Web Image Week1 Jan 24+25_Hurling
Clare’s Eibhear Quilligan, Cork’s William Buckley, and Tipperary’s Jake Morris are this week’s GAA.ie Hurler of the Week nominees.
The voting process is simple: like their image on the GAA's official Instagram page.
Voting will close at 10am on Tuesday, January 27, and the winner will be announced on GAA.ie.
Eibhear Quilligan (Clare)
Eibhear Quilligan was a central figure for Clare in their narrow victory over Dublin. He made three outstanding second-half saves including a brilliant stop from Donal Burke’s penalty which he somehow turned over the bar.
William Buckley (Cork)
William Buckley was Cork’s sole League debutant in their impressive victory over Waterford and looked to the manor born. He scored 1-4 from play and his work off the ball to harry and hassle Waterford defenders coming out with the sliotar was also very eye-catching.
Jake Morris (Tipperary)
Jake Morris picked up where he left off last year with a display of real leadership in the Tipperary attack against Galway. In a match of fine margins and on a miserable night for hurling his five points from play and ability to win hard ball made the difference.
Players of the Week are decided based on votes cast by followers of the Official GAA Instagram page.
