Niall O’Meara set to miss Tipperary’s Munster SHC semi-final

Sheedy saw how Tipp's recent defeat to Waterford was described as “a five-point pasting” and wouldn’t disagree with it

Niall O’Meara is expected to miss Tipperary’s Munster SHC semi-final against Clare or Waterford on Sunday week having had his appendix removed.

Manager Liam Sheedy feels the game, which will be in LIT Gaelic Grounds should Clare win this weekend and Páirc Uí Chaoimh in the event of a Waterford victory, will come too quickly for the Kilruane McDonaghs man.
