Tipp boss Sheedy confirms Bonner Maher gone for season: 'He's such a loss to the Championship'

Premier 'warrior' suffered another serious injury this week, and will undergo surgery next Wednesday

BONNER BLOW: Tipperary’s Patrick Maher, who is likely to miss the rest of the inter-county season after suffering a serious Achilles injury this week.

TIPPERARY manager Liam Sheedy has confirmed that Patrick 'Bonner' Maher will undergo an operation next week on a damaged Achilles injury that will rule the Premier 'warrior' out for the season.

Maher suffered the injury on Thursday night, and Sheedy admits that losing "one of our best warriors" for the season was 'a bitter pill to swallow'.
