The Premier lifted the Liam MacCarthy Cup for the first time since 2019 this evening, after a sensational second-half surge saw them beat Cork 3-27 to 1-18. Runners-up Cork have four representatives on the team, while fellow provincial champions Kilkenny see two players selected. Dublin and Galway have one apiece. The Hurling Team of the Year is always sure to stoke some debate. What do you think of the 15 our panel - first argued over - and then settled on?#RTEgaa pic.twitter.com/hWb5y3AUI7— The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) July 20, 2025 Advertisement Morris got the Hurler of the Year nod, with Ronan Maher and John McGrath the panel’s other nominees. The Nenagh Éire Óg half forward clipped over two points this evening as he brought the curtain down on a memorable 2025. “Jake Morris had a brilliant year,” said Kilkenny legend Henry Shefflin. “Up top, he’s been the spiritual leader for Tipp. When they look to someone to do something big, he’s the man to turn to. “I think Jake was in the conversation [for Hurler of the Year] this morning, and in the first half when Tipp weren’t firing, he was still the one that looked to bring them forward. I thought he was brilliant.” “I think Jake has become selfless in his game,” the former Galway manager continued. “The amount of link-up play he does, the amount of dummy runs he does. He was a goalscorer up to now; he’s now become a fulcrum of that Tipp team. “And he’s the new Tipp team. . . we spoke about the older and the younger lads, but he’s in that middle category. We’ve identified he has serious potential for a number of years but I think we’ve seen, just like the Tipp team, he has grown to a stature that he is our Hurler of the Year.” Dónal Óg Cusack, Joe Canning, Jackie Tyrrell, Ursula Jacob and Brendan Cummins joined Canning on The Sunday Game panel tonight.
