David Power: Tipperary footballers must defy hurling chiefs

Former Tipperary All-Ireland winning minor football manager David Power says he wants to see potential dual players play for their county rather than being threatened with being dropped from hurling squads.

Speaking at Tuesday night’s Tipperary football board AGM in Thurles, Power cited the example of a secondary school student who was dropped from his school’s Harty Cup hurling squad because he wanted to play football and he referenced current Tipperary U21 hurling manager Liam Cahill’s opposition to dual players

Power urged young GAA players to stand up for themselves and give football a shot if they are interested.
