Cork’s 2019 Munster Hurling Championship campaign got off to a rocky start as they fell to a seven-point defeat against Tipperary in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Liam Sheedy’s men rolled back the years Leeside to record their first win in the province since 2016 much to the dismay of the current back-to-back Munster champions. Following Cork’s loss, Diarmuid O’Sullivan took umbrage …

As championship hurling approaches, Michael Ryan's Tipperary represent great value to regain control of the Liam McCarthy Cup.

Previewing the best bets for the first round of the league.

The best bets for this year's National Leagues.

Clare are through to the final of the Hurling Super 11s to face Galway in this year’s edition of the Fenway Classic taking place in Boston.  Some stunning pieces of skill have been on display across the Atlantic at the home of the Boston Red Sox, with the best our national game has to offer on show for the American …

It's not every day that you see a current Australian rules footballer line out in the Tipperary Junior Hurling Championship.

Both Michael Ryan and Micheal Donoghue have made changes ahead of Sunday’s clash. There are two changes to the Tipperary side while Galway make just one alteration. After heavy criticism was directed towards Tipperary’s defence following their victory over Clare, it’s not surprising that both changes come in this sector of the field. Darren Gleeson returns to the side once …

Kilkenny hurling legend Jackie Tyrrell has identified Tipperary’s defence as their biggest weakness.  The 35-year-old won nine All-Irelands and claimed four All-Star awards during his inter-county career and is universally recognised as one of the toughest defenders of all time so it’s safe to say he knows a thing or two about defending. Writing in The Irish Times, Tyrrell claims that Tipperary’s …

After a shock defeat in their championship opener, Tipperary have regrouped and are still standing. With this in mind, we have to ask, does the back-door route suit this Tipperary side?  The obvious statistic here is that Tipperary’s two most recent All-Ireland titles have come via both routes. They overcame Kilkenny via the back-door in 2010 and took the direct …

During the week, Eoin Kelly predicted that Michael Ryan may drop some big names this weekend. The Tipp boss has done just that by making two changes, although it’s not the alteration many expected. Dangerous forward Noel McGrath has been left out of the side. The Premier have struggled massively for form recently. After trouncing Wexford in this year’s league …

Eoin Kelly has stated that he can see Tipperary boss Michael Ryan making a shock decision for this Saturday’s qualifier clash with Dublin by dropping prolific marksman Seamus Callanan.  Kelly believes that following Tipp’s upset loss to Cork at the quarter-final stage of Munster, Ryan could be on the verge of ringing a number of changes that would not only …

So far, the 2017 hurling championship has seen it’s fair share of upsets. Westmeath were very close to blowing these upsets well and truly out of the water before the reigning All-Ireland champions eventually won by 2-18 to 0-15. When the draw was made last Monday morning, no tie seemed a more foregone conclusion than this. All-Ireland champions Tipperary were …

Michael Duignan has ferociously condemned the circulation of rumours about the Tipperary hurling panel via WhatsApp messages which swept the country this week.  The messages that were shared spread unsavoury rumours about the personal lives and families of named players within the Tipperary camp. Speaking to Darren Frehill on RTÉ Radio One’s Morning Ireland this morning, the Offaly legend slammed …

The hurling championship is a short season. From the first throw-in of the year to picking up the Liam MacCarthy Cup might take just four games. We want to know, however, if you can name the hurlers with the most All-Ireland Hurling Championship appearances. As mentioned above, the hurling championship is far from the longest. On many occasions in this …

Tipperary captain Pádraic Maher cut a dejected figure as he faced the press following yesterday’s defeat to Cork. In his own words, he was “gutted.” The Thurles Sars defender was understandably extremely disappointed with his team’s loss, having been heavy favourites going into the game. The Premier were set to launch the defence of their Munster and All Ireland titles …

Tipperary get their All-Ireland defence underway this weekend when the face off against Cork in Semple Stadium on Sunday.  For Tipperary, 13 of the side who lifted the Liam McCarthy last September get the nod with the two changes in the team coming from the introduction of John O’Keefe and Sean Curran. O’Keefe is named at corner-back in the place …
