McGrath says Tipp will be the ‘hungriest team around’

Allianz Hurling Div 1A

It’s quite the opening test for new Waterford manager Derek McGrath in the opening game of the Allianz Hurling League at Semple Stadium tomorrow, taking on tails-up Tipperary in their home patch.

“I think 1998 was the last occasion we won a league match in Thurles,” he said, “the last time we were there they put 31 points on us [2012, 0-31 to 2-15]. Tipp are going very well this year, Waterford Crystal champions already with a big win over Clare last weekend.
