Liam Cahill was in frame for Liam Sheedy’s job

Liam Cahill has revealed he spoke to the Tipperary County Board about the vacant senior post following last year’s All-Ireland U21 win but withdrew from the race once Liam Sheedy entered the equation.

The Tipperary County Board executive had not found a successor for Michael Ryan when Cahill, last August, guided the Premier to a first All-Ireland U21 crown in eight years, and Cahill subsequently met with officials to “lay out a couple of ideas” regarding the senior job.
