Tipperary get the bit between their teeth

Tipperary 3-19 Louth 0-19: Conor Sweeney remembered it, that sick feeling in the pit of his stomach when Louth came to Semple Stadium and clinched promotion, on a day when Tipperary were meant to get the job done.

He recalled the understandable whooping and hollering when Louth’s players, management and fans gathered in a tight pocket on the New Stand side of Semple Stadium and celebrated their achievement.

Sweeney couldn’t blame them, but it didn’t make it any easier to take.
