Maestro McGrath says Tipp till have things to work on

In last year’s Munster SHC final a rampant Tipperary attack tore Waterford asunder, hit them for seven goals and 19 points en route to a 21 point humiliation.

Lar Corbett was the main man for the Premier County that afternoon, hitting 4-4. But it wasn’t about any individual; that day in Páirc Uí Chaoimh was about the team and a near-flawless performance which elevated hurling to a new level.

Sadly for Tipperary fans the side didn’t reproduce that performance again in 2011, as they battled past a depleted but determined Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final (1-19 to 0-18), then lost the All-Ireland title they had so gloriously won 12 months previously to a resurgent Kilkenny.
