Dave Moriarty: ‘Lads abandoningus? Yeah that hurt...’

Ahead of their Munster semi-final victory over Cork, the Tipperary footballers could call on the scouting of physical trainer Dave Moriarty, who’d spent the last couple of years training Glen Rovers on Leeside.

At least they could have if Moriarty had seen any football games.

“I was absolutely no help whatsoever,” laughs Moriarty. “Robbie Kiely is playing with Carbery Rangers, he would have been far better as a source of information. Going back to Cork should be interesting, though, in terms of the reaction.”
