Three players who helped power Tipperary to victory over Galway in the Bord Gáis Energy GAA Hurling Under-21 All-Ireland final have been shortlisted for the Breaking Through Player of the Year award.
Dublin’s Oisin Gough, Galway captain David Burke and last year’s inaugural prize winner, Darach Honan of Clare, complete the list of contenders for the award.
