Callinan: Tipp out to avenge Cats’ mauling

TIPPERARY star Seamus Callinan says the Premier County are keen to meet Kilkenny again in order to make up for their heavy defeat in Nowlan Park earlier in the league.

Following the Cats’ demolition job on Cork last Sunday many inter-county hurlers would be forgiven for wanting to avoid the black and amber at the sharp end of the league. Not Tipp, says Callinan.

“No, our attitude is we want to meet them, the sooner the better, to make up for that defeat. There’s no doubt about it, they put up a fierce performance against us that day and it just shows the standard the rest of the country has to get up to. Everyone knows Kilkenny are on top and that’s where we all want to be. We just have to work harder.”
