MAN-OF-THE-MATCH

Conor Branigan

SAM Mulroy, John Clutterbuck and Eoghan Callaghan were all in the running, but it’s a hollow award when you end up on the losing team. Branigan was one of the main reasons the Blues didn’t end up on the wrong side of a Jock’s shock, winning vital possession in the build-up to the goal and kicking two crucial points, including the winner with his left foot under ferocious pressure.
