Tipp chairman slams ‘unfounded rumours’

TIPPERARY chairman Donal Shanahan last night criticised those responsible for spreading “unfounded rumours” about members of the county senior hurling side.

Mr Shanahan was angered by comments and suggestions which have been circulating in the Premier County after the All-Ireland SHC quarter-final loss to Galway.

He told delegates at last night’s County Board meeting that such: “rumours have no basis of foundation, are absolutely untrue and it seems their only purpose is to damage the reputation of some of our players.”
