Cummins ends Tipp career

Tipperary legend Brendan Cummins brought the curtain down on a glittering inter-county career last evening – with a record 73 SHC appearances under his belt.

And the 38-year-old goalkeeper, who won All-Ireland SHC medals in 2001 and 2010, revealed how he shed tears following Tipp’s defeat to Kilkenny at Nowlan Park in July, knowing deep down that it was his final game for the Premier County.

But there is a distinct possibility he could return to the set-up in future years — as team manager.
