Tipperary’s All-Ireland dream ‘becoming a reality’

Tipperary football board chairman Joe Hannigan has suggested that winning an All-Ireland senior title by 2020 is “no longer a pipe dream” and “fast becoming a reality.”

Tipp contested their first All-Ireland semi-final in 81 years against Mayo last August and hopes are high manager Liam Kearns and his players can build on that.

Hannigan has also appealed for “accommodation” on the use of dual players at minor level next year, insisting that prospective young stars wishing to play both codes should be allowed to do so.
