Leahy: Tipp lacking mental toughness

Tipperary legend John Leahy claims some of the county’s senior team players are not mentally strong enough to compete consistently for the game’s major prizes.

Leahy has waded into the debate raging in the Premier County following Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League Division 1 semi-final defeat by Cork.

And the Mullinahone native, who served as a selector alongside former Tipp boss Michael ‘Babs’ Keating, lamented a lack of leadership in Declan Ryan’s team at Semple Stadium.
