Tipp must climb the ladder, says O’Shea

Eamon O’Shea insists that his Tipperary senior hurlers are “down at the bottom of the ladder” ahead of the Allianz League and championship campaigns.

Tipp lost last year’s league decider to Kilkenny and suffered defeats in both of their championship outings, against Limerick and Kilkenny.

Attempting to play down expectations ahead of the new season, manager O’Shea says that staying in Division 1A of the league is Tipperary’s immediate goal.
