Len Gaynor warns near misses frustrating Tipp hurlers

Tipperary must win Sunday’s Munster SHC final to put to bed their recent collection of near-misses on summer’s biggest afternoons, according to Len Gaynor.

Championship silverware has eluded the county since Eamon O’Shea took charge at the end of 2012 and former Tipp hurler Gaynor reckons the litany of narrow defeats has been source of deep frustration for the squad.

“Tipperary need to get a bit of silverware on the sideboard,” said the three-time All-Ireland medallist.
