Liam Cahill is talking about his name and how it was sullied. How pained he was by the fallout from Tipperary’s early championship exit last year. How disappointing it was to be told he was something and was doing something that he wasn’t or didn’t.

When the results weren’t forthcoming, he could understand there would be questions asked but only to a point. “To keep proving people wrong is a key driver for me personally and it is a key driver for all the players in our dressing rooms. You don’t take it personally, you never do, but it does hurt when your good name is questioned.
