Piarsaigh showdown with Toomevara sure to be tip-top tussle
Conversely, in the same period, there hasn't been a less impressive performer in Munster.
Including the current season, Toomevara have collected nine Tipperary county titles since 1992 (their first in 32 years), a run that includes a four-in-a-row and a separate three-in-a-row. That, by itself, in such a strong hurling county, is a fantastic achievement. Less fantastic, however, their record in Munster; in that same period, a single crown, achieved at the second time of asking, 1993. Tommy Dunne was a member of every one of those Toomevara teams; a pragmatist, as honest off the field as on, he will not be soft-soaped by any suggestion that they've been a hard-luck side in Munster.
