Liam Cahill: ‘Too many players failed for my liking’

“We had 11 guys training earlier this morning that trained really, really hard. They must be looking in at that saying, ‘what have I to do to get into the squad?’”

Liam Cahill has blasted members of his Waterford team who “failed” and delivered “one of the flattest performance of my reign” going down to Clare in their Munster SHC quarter-final in Thurles.

The 2020 All-Ireland runners-up will hope to dust themselves off for their first-round All-Ireland qualifier in three weeks’ time but the Tipperary native’s disappointment with his charges was obvious following this provincial quarter-final, which he admitted they could have lost by a greater margin.
