Derry Foley: These Tipperary football teams would win anywhere

Derry Foley has noted your concern. The nation’s interest in Tipperary football affairs has held beyond the few hours summer diversion.

The venue for tomorrow’s county final — Leahy Park, Cashel — may yet make the agendas of human rights activists.

As everyone now knows, Tipp’s football board wanted Semple Stadium for its showpiece, but the county board ruled otherwise. Worse, the final has been scheduled against Thurles Sarsfields v Ballygunner, in Semple; the televised Munster club hurling tie.
