Jake Morris Emerges as Top Contender for Hurler of the Year

14/1 to 10/11

A titanic resurgence saw the Premier dominate the second half, with a colossal 3-19 allowing them to pulverise Cork’s 6-point half-time lead. With Cork having taken to the pitch as short-priced 1/3 favourites, a stunning Tipp comeback has turned the Player of the Year betting on its head.

Seven of Tipperary’s starting fifteen were named on The Sunday Game’s Team of the Year, with Morris put forward by the panel as the player of the year. Punters were quick to follow suit, triggering Morris's odds to crash into just 10/11 to be awarded the GAA/GPA accolade, having been a 14/1 shot on the eve of the All-Ireland final.

Morris is joined by teammates Ronan Maher and John McGrath in what the bookies are pitching as a three-horse race, with the duo sharing second favouritism at 9/4. Tipp captain Maher was instrumental in the Premier’s All-Ireland winning campaign as was McGrath (9/4), who chalked up 2-02 in the county’s sensational comeback in Croke Park on Sunday.

Brian O’Keeffe, spokesperson for BOYLE Sports, said: “Sunday will live long in the memory of Tipperary fans and one more piece of silverware is set to make its way to the Premier County. Ronan Maher and John McGrath are both well-fancied for the Player of the Year accolade, but we make Jake Morris a red-hot fav to cap off a brilliant year in style.”
