Curran says Tipp have ‘massive spirit’

The last time Tipperary and Clare met in a Munster U21 hurling final, two years ago, Tipperary had a team chockful of stars.

Michael Cahill, Pádraic Maher, Brendan Maher, Noel McGrath, Patrick ‘Bonner’ Maher, Seamus Hennessey, Brian O’Meara and Michael Heffernan were all members of the Tipperary senior panel that won that year’s All-Ireland senior title, the first-named five all starting in the final.

Tomorrow evening in Cusack Park in Ennis it’s Clare with all the senior stars while Tipperary have just the one panellist in Seán Curran.
