Leahy may play through pain barrier for Mullinahone

DESPITE an ongoing knee problem, Allstar John Leahy could be tempted to make a dramatic return for his club Mullinahone’s semi-final clash with Toomevara in the Tipperary county senior hurling championship at Thurles tomorrow.

Mullinahone coach Leahy played full-forward during the mid-Tipperary championship after surgery on his damaged knee. But the injury came back to haunt him after the divisional final and he was forced to miss last Sunday’s county quarter-final victory over Roscrea.

However, with so much at stake against the reigning champions, Leahy might gamble on his fitness.
