Cahill wants young charges to dispel the myth of Tipp softness

It seems an unnecessary message to have to impart to an inter-county team, but Tipperary U20 hurling manager Liam Cahill is blue in the face telling his players to fight and graft all the way to the last whistle.

To do otherwise, says Cahill, is to present an open goal to the hurling public — both inside and outside of the Premier County — to throw that familiar label of Tipp softness at his group, to allow their character and stomach for battle be questioned.
