Tipp boss takes swing at Loughnane over ‘snide remarks’

Tipperary chairman Sean Nugent has accused former Clare boss Ger Loughnane of making “snide remarks” about the Premier County.

Loughnane, who guided Clare to glory in 1995 and 1997, urged the Banner County to build on their U21 and All-Ireland SHC successes — and not become like the Tipperary teams of three years ago.

Loughnane told Clare FM: “What we all hope and what we are all very confident of is that we don’t become the Tipperary team of 2010 when they won the senior and the U21 and disappeared off the map after that.”
