Double delight for Tipp young guns

Not since 1955 have Tipperary won both Munster minor titles in the same year, but yesterday’s hurling win over Clare at Páirc Uí Chaoimh completed a double following the football victory against Kerry.

The achievement is made all the more impressive by the fact there are 10 players on both panels, with five dual players starting yesterday. For manager William Maher, it was a case of managing time effectively to ensure the optimum outcome.

“These fellas are fantastic,” he said afterwards.
