Kieran Bergin confident reborn Tipperary will deliver against Waterford

Chicago, New York, San Francisco… Kieran Bergin has watched Tipperary games from some unusual places and last Sunday he added Cork University Hospital to the list, his wife Aishling delivering Cillian.

So it was a joyous occasion anyway as Bergin viewed that second-half rebirth of the team he departed last year. Jake Morris’ equalising score had him cheering but it was Seamus Callanan’s graft that stood out for him.

“Seeing Seamie coming down 60 yards to hook a lad, that’s phenomenal workrate that is there. People say there isn’t enough work in this team but it’s massive; we just don’t always see it when things aren’t going our way.”
