Tipp no closer to finding new boss

The likely successor to Declan Ryan as Tipperary senior hurling manager has yet to emerge, with a number of high profile targets dropping out of the race.

Liam Sheedy, who managed Tipp to a prized All-Ireland SHC title in 2010, and Eamon O'Shea, the coach who worked alongside Sheedy between 2008 and 2010, are both out of the running now.
