Missed goal chances cost us dear, says Daly

ANTHONY DALY did not want to make excuses for his team’s defeat, but he put forward several reasons to explain it.

He said there was no doubt Tipperary benefited from the two games they played against Limerick and he also cited the weather as a factor. Most of all, he accepted the fact his team didn't take their goal chances.

Minutes after the match, he looked stony-faced as he accompanied selector Fr Harry Bohan to the Tipperary dressing room to pass on his congratulations.
