Liam Sheedy: New tactics a ‘risk’ to the game

Former Tipperary hurling manager Liam Sheedy fears the new tactical approach in the game may affect attendances, describing it as a ‘risk’ to the game.

Speaking ahead of yesterday’s NHL final replay, Sheedy said: “It’s just an awful lot is about tactics. It seems to be taking over. I think it’s a risk, it’s a risk for the game.

“John Mullane was talking about Clare and Waterford are looking like being the Cork and Waterford of previous times. But I would go 1,000 miles to watch Cork and Waterford from their time because it was absolute quality stuff, end to end stuff, man to man stuff, great scores, great goals, great matches, and really, I suppose, on the edge at times.
