No truck with tactics

IN years to come it will be the stuff of death bed confessions. Yes Father, those are Celtic Crosses on the mantelpiece but, God forgive me, it’s time I got it off my chest; we used tactics.

It will be a leper’s funeral.

Thanks to the success of Kilkenny, and now Tipperary, the T-word has lost its cachet in hurling circles. Bring out another man around the middle if you have to, but don’t be talking about it afterwards. It’ll be a long time yet before we hear discussion of a false ten on the 40.
