Tipp not at top of their form, admits Cummins

Jim O’Sullivan talks to a focused Brendan Cummins about this weekend’s semi-final

BRENDAN CUMMINS could hardly have anticipated several months ago that his best chance of a second Munster senior championship medal would be with the Tipperary footballers. He may have secretly hoped for an elusive double, but, like most observers, he would have been confident enough of another success for the hurlers. However, he ended up with nothing bar his reputation as hurling's most dynamic goalkeeper intact and an enhanced

rating as a footballer to rival that of his father John.
