Into the safe hands of Brendan Cummins Tipperary’s senior starlets have gone these past couple of weeks and the U20 manager is indebted to Liam Cahill.

That may sound unusual seeing as the likes of Darragh McCarthy, Oisín O’Donoghue and Sam O’Farrell are fully qualified for the underage grade and an All-Ireland medal is on offer on Saturday, but Cummins considers them on loan from his old team-mate Cahill.
