No fear of Cork ambush as Tipperary wide wake after league slumber

Tipp are now on full alert after sleepwalking into Galway, writes Donal O’Grady.

The Rebels needed the scoreline in the league final to be the other way round. They might then have ‘caught’ a complacent Premier.

Still, Tipp will have to win three tough games to retain their Munster title. It is difficult to ‘get up’ for three games in a row. The easiest of these, on paper, is the fixture tomorrow against their traditional rivals.
