Padraic Maher: Tipperary must raise game this season

Tipperary captain Padraic Maher says he and his teammates will have to improve on their 2016 form if they’re to replicate last year’s All-Ireland victory.

“We know if we play the same as last year, then we’re going to find it hard to do what we did last year.

“We have to up it ourselves, we’re taking it a game at a time and we have a break for the weekend - try to get the lads involved in the Fitzgibbon through that weekend, then look forward to Clare - back home after two rounds of the league away.
