Tipperary football chairman blames delay on Croker

Tipperary football chairman Joe Hannigan maintains a lot of the blame for the county’s delayed senior championship lays with Croke Park.

Eight months after it started, the competition will go on another week after Cahir and Loughmore-Castleiney drew yesterday.

After a fixtures pile-up caused by several factors such as the drawn All-Ireland SHC final, a decision was taken by the county board to postpone the SFC until the hurling campaign was completed.
