Liam Cahill is facing an uphill task to tempt Jerome Cahill back into the Tipperary fold.

Cahill, the Kilruane MacDonaghs captain and standout hurler of the Tipperary hurling championship this year, will be top of the new county manager’s recruitment wish list for 2023. Scorer of two superb goals in the drawn final, Cahill assisted Cian Darcy’s first goal in a quieter replay display before becoming the first Kilruane man to lift the Dan Breen Cup in 37 years.
