Sheedy: we lacked a bit of a killer punch

GRACIOUS to the end, Tipperary boss Liam Sheedy wasn’t in the blame business after yesterday’s pulsating All-Ireland semi-final.

He lasered in immediately on where the game slipped away from Tipp, when Seamus Callinan had a second goal chance, but he wasn’t pointing out scapegoats.

“The goal chance — in fairness to Seamus, when he went for it I was egging him on, it was a similar situation to the Munster final but it was a great save. Micheal (Webster) was very unlucky that it got away from him then – the 65 then went wide, so we were one point down at a time we might have gone two points up. And at that stage, two points was probably going to be enough to seal it.”
