All-Ireland minor champions return as David Power names 38-man Tipperary football panel

Power is missing a number of star names for the 2020 campaign.

New Tipperary football manager David Power has named a 38-man panel for their League campaign.

As well as Michael Quinlivan, regular starters Liam McGrath, Liam Casey, and Josh Keane have decided to go travelling for the year, while defender Shane O'Connell can't commit.

Paudie Feehan (travelling) and Paul Maher, who has thrown his lot in with Liam Sheedy's senior hurlers, are also unavailable.

In their place, the 2011 All-Ireland Minor winning manager welcomes back a number of stars of that triumph over Dublin who haven't since made the step up to senior level.

Colman Kennedy, who scored the winning goal in that final, and Greg Henry both spent time in America on soccer scholarships and played in the League of Ireland with Limerick FC and Cobh Ramblers respectively, but have now joined Power's panel.

Kennedy is joined by six Commercials teammates, including his two bothers Conal and Jack.

Conor Sweeney has been made captain for 2020, with Steven O’Brien acting as vice-captain, as they prepare for their Division 3 opener against Down on Sunday.
