Maher’s Tipp young guns hunting double

History is in the making at Páirc Uí Chaoimh tomorrow as Tipperary target a first Electric Ireland Munster MHC success since 2007.

A trawl through the record books shows the Premier County has not achieved a minor football-hurling provincial double since 1955 — but the dual feat will be achieved tomorrow if William Maher’s young guns can dethrone champions Clare.

The minor footballers fulfilled their end of the bargain last Sunday in memorable fashion against Kerry at the Gaelic Grounds and seven members of that victorious squad are also members of the hurling panel.
