Cahill latest in long line of Sars stars

When Tipperary overtook Cork in the All-Ireland roll of honour in the early sixties they were backboned by the mighty men of Thurles Sarsfields, then the dominant club in the county.

For the past four years Tipperary have been back at the top in Munster, winners of three of the last four titles and are going for another Sunday against Waterford, in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

The year they lost, beaten by Cork in 2010, they recovered spectacularly to beat Kilkenny in an epic All-Ireland final.
