Michael Ryan says footballers are ‘the storyline of the summer’

Tipperary hurling manager Michael Ryan paid tribute to the county footballers’ “super achievement” in reaching the All-Ireland semi-final tomorrow.

The Premier footballers face Mayo in Croke Park and last night Ryan saluted their achievement as “the storyline of the summer”.

“It’s not something we talk about, we focus on ourselves as a group, but we share Morris Park with those lads, we know their names, they’re from our parishes... where we have hurlers, we have footballers.
