Babs blasts ‘under-achieving’ Tipperary hurlers

BABS KEATING launched an astonishing attack at his under-achieving Tipperary hurlers last night, admitting: “Our lads are dead, only to wash them.”

The Premier County fell to their second Allianz League defeat in four games at Semple Stadium yesterday, as visitors Galway cruised to a 3-11 to 0-12 victory.

And afterwards, Tipp's legendary coach levelled both barrels at the squad, indicating that the management committee had "some serious thinking" to do ahead of the championship.
