Maher: Munster final loss was a blessing in disguise

Tipperary defender Ronan Maher intends embracing this latest All-Ireland success after failing to do so three years ago. Maher admits complacency prevented him from fully acknowledging the significance of that previous final victory over Kilkenny.

“We didn’t appreciate the one in 2016 so we’re going to appreciate this one now. I just feel like we enjoyed it alright but we thought — well, I thought — it was going to be like that for another few years.
