Pat Kerwick believes his Killenaule clubmate John O'Dwyer is a class act.

Winner of Munster SHC medals with the Premier County in 2008 and '09, Kerwick back wing forward 'Bubbles' to cause Cork problems at Croke Park on Sunday:

"When I was finishing, 'Bubbles' was starting to come on the scene and I saw him progressing the whole time," he says in The Irish Examiner. "I think Tipperary got the timing right with him. He's really flying it now.

"He's a great stickman. When he's on the ball, he's really on the ball. There's no second touch needed, it's a first touch into the hand and he's gone. A lot of lads have been mentioning it this year. It just shows you the way he's hurling.

"He's working very well with Bonner Maher, who's a pure workhorse. Anything that Bonner doesn't get, Bubbles will. There had been a problem for the half-forward line in recent years but it looks much better now.

"As I said, Bonner is the workman and 'Bubbles' gets the breaks off him. The relationship between the pair is going great. 'Bubbles' always had the talent and he's been consistent throughout the year." Tweet
