Eamon O’Shea: No excuses as Tipperary ready to break Limerick hoodoo

Tipperary manager Eamon O’Shea is confident that the Premier County can smash their recent Limerick hoodoo in next Sunday’s Munster SHC semi-final at the Gaelic Grounds.

Tipp haven’t beaten the Shannonsiders since 2012 in championship hurling, and have lost in the last two seasons against their weekend opponents.

But optimistic O’Shea is backing his emerging young guns to make a big impact in the Gaelic Grounds cauldron, as the Kilruane MacDonaghs man goes in search of a first provincial championship victory since taking charge in 2012.
