Jake Morris: 'The manner of some of the defeats last year wasn't acceptable'

A fourth straight SHC victory in Limerick this Saturday and what would be a first in four SHC meetings against Galway will earn Tipperary a first appearance in Croke Park since their 2019 All-Ireland final success.

When Liam Cahill spoke last month about he and the Tipperary players being “embarrassed” at the county’s All-Ireland minor final win over Kilkenny, it was eye-opening.

As a 13-man Tipperary pulled off a famous extra-time win, what should have been a joyous day for anyone affiliated with the blue and gold was a bittersweet one for the members of the county’s flagship group.
