Tipperary chairman backs decision to make minors choose a code

Tipperary chairman Michael Bourke has backed Liam Cahill’s stance after the county’s minor hurling team manager told prospective dual players to pick one code only for the coming season.

The dual experiment at minor level in the Premier County appears to be at an end for now as Cahill will not entertain the prospect of panel members playing both hurling and football.

And Bourke indicated that he will not interfere in the running of team affairs, stating that “it’s very hard to serve two masters at that level”.
