Costigan stresses the positives
Manager John Evans has taken the scalpel to his team line-up for their All-Ireland qualifier tie against Laois and when he completed his surgery, Costigan found himself installed at full-back. That’s a change from his natural berth of centre-back but one borne out of necessity after Tipperary have been shorn of four players since the Munster championship exit against Kerry last month.
Costigan though is not the sort to complain about being moved around the park and he does not criticise the decision either of Ciarán McDonald, Chris Aylward and Alan Moloney to head to the United States for the summer, or Sean Carey for concentrating solely on the Tipperary U21 hurlers.
