Tipp set to stand behind Rebels

Cork have been assured of support from arch rivals Tipperary on the controversial ‘Anthony Nash’ motion that will go before the GAA’s Annual Congress at Croke Park this weekend.

Board chairman Sean Nugent confirmed Tipp will be opposing motion 40, which is seeking to end the practice of players stealing yards from dead balls.

“We shouldn’t penalise players who have worked hard to perfect this skill,” said Nugent.
