Forbes pays tribute to Tipperary following substitution saga conclusion

THE relief in Cork was palpable after the GAC of the Munster Council confirmed the Leesiders as provincial senior football champions for 2002.

County Board vice-chairman Jim Forbes said there was tremendous relief within the county and among the team and management at the outcome.

“It has been a difficult 48 hours for all concerned not knowing if we were Munster champions or not,” he said.
