Hamstring rules Tipp's Donagh Maher out of Hurling League semi showdown

Tipperary have been dealt a blow ahead of Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League semi-final against Wexford with confirmation that corner-back Donagh Maher has been ruled out through injury.

Maher, 28, damaged a hamstring in training on Tuesday evening and the severity of the problem is being assessed.

It is understood the Burgess clubman sustained an injury serious enough to rule him out of the trip to Nowlan Park — and he’s also a doubt for the Munster SHC quarter-final clash with Cork next month.
