Eoghan Connolly revealed Tipperary’s A team were heavily beaten by the B team in their last training game before Sunday’s All-Ireland final.

On Liam Cahill and Mikey Bevans’s instructions, the A team operated with an extra player in defence last weekend. However, the initial results in FBD Semple Stadium did not suggest they were going to be bringing the Liam MacCarthy Cup back there.
