Noel McGrath back on bench for Tipperary

Noel McGrath will make an emotional return to match day activity when he takes his place on Tipperary’s bench for tomorrow’s All-Ireland hurling semi-final clash with Galway.

The All-Ireland medallist and former Young Hurler of the Year has made a speedy recovery from testicular cancer surgery which took place in April.

Boss Eamon O’Shea confirmed last week that the Loughmore-Castleiney super star was ‘in the mix’ to feature and has included him in his 26-man matchday panel.
