3: Shane O’Donnell (Clare) – 3,585 votes

Despite his brother Dan being named as the Sunday Game’s Man of The Match, Tom Morrissey has scooped the GAA.ie hurler of the week following a public vote.

Last year’s U21 All Ireland winning captain was influential in the half forward line with two of his four point tally coming in a crucial period after Kilkenny had hit the front through a Richie Hogan goal.
