Colin O'Riordan, Tipperary's nineteen year old inspiration in midfield, has emerged as one of the brightest stars of the Eirgrid U21 All-Ireland football championship.
He was instrumental in Tipperary's stunning second half rally against the Dubs, driving the team forward time and again from midfield.
The astoundingly precocious O'Riordan was a fifteen year old member of the Tipperary minor team that claimed the All-Ireland in such dramatic fashion in 2011. A dual player, the hurlers have inquired about his availability but he's committed to the footballers and while he wouldn't acknowledge that Tipperary is a dual county at this point.
He also tells us why he believes it would be 'crazy' to abolish the U21 grade.
