Kilkenny | 1 | “For his dependability in defence, which combines with his natural hurling skill to establish him as one of the great corner backs of today.” |

Limerick | 3 | “For his undiminished skill and dependability in a very demanding position where quite often brawn is substituted for hurling artistry.” |

Wexford | 1 | “For the wide range of his playing skills, his constancy of purpose and his obvious versatility.” |
