New Tipp boss 'optimistic' about next season

Newly-appointed Tipperary senior hurling manager Eamon O'Shea is putting his best foot forward as the county look to bounce back from their humbling All-Ireland SHC exit to Kilkenny.

Tipp were handed a 4-24 to 1-15 semi-final hammering by the Cats in what proved to be Declan Ryan's last game in charge. His replacement O'Shea, who was ratified on Tuesday night, says there will be no attempt at a quick fix.
