Missing Jerome Cahill, Tipp's great lost hope

One of the most skilful players in the county is no longer a Tipp hurler

The mention of Jerome Cahill’s name turned Tipperary selector TJ Ryan wistful at last month’s Munster senior hurling championship launch.

In all three of the under-age All-Irelands won under Liam Cahill, Mikey Bevans and Ryan, the Kilruane MacDonaghs man was a starter. Outside of the McGraths and Ronan Maher, the 2019 U20 hurler of the year is probably the most skilful player in the county.
