Seamus Callanan keen to test himself again

Seamus Callanan has moved to debunk the myth Tipperary were their own worst enemies in 2011 when they failed to retain the All-Ireland hurling title.

The theory has been peddled since Tipp’s final win over Kilkenny in September, the county’s first title success since 2010, that the players may have taken success for granted in 2011 and must make sure not to repeat the mistake now.

Attacker Callanan, part of the 2010 and 2016 wins, isn’t convinced about that suggestion though and rejected talk the players were in any way complacent six years ago, pointing out that eventual winners Kilkenny were simply so good.
