Tipperary duo Patrick ‘Bonner’ Maher and Cathal Barrett are “highly unlikely” to feature in the Munster final against Limerick in two weeks’ time, according to manager Liam Sheedy. Cathal Barrett limped off the field after 31 minutes in the 1-22 to 0-21 win over the Treaty with a suspected hamstring injury while Bonner Maher required a stretcher five minutes later …

All Ireland champions Limerick travel to Semple Stadium on Sunday to face Tipperary in a game that all are hoping will finally spark the Munster Championship into life after a number of one-sided affairs. The two sides have served up a few classics in recent years with the teams very evenly matched and given their recent performances, we are expecting …

It’s all to play for as we head into the final round of games in the Leinster and Munster championships while it is also crunch time in the Joe McDonagh Cup. Ahead of the weekend’s fixtures, we take a look at the big questions facing the major teams involved. _____ 1. Who will reach the Leinster final? Galway look set …

Limerick showed just why they are All Ireland champions as they brushed aside the challenge of Clare in the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday.  John Kiely’s men ran out 1-28 to 0-13 winners against their near rivals in a game where all the pressure was on them to save their season. It was an entirely one-way affair as Limerick dominated from …

Tipperary football manager Liam Kearns has resigned from his position following his side’s defeat to Down in Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC qualifier round 1 clash at Pairc Esler. Kearns has been in charge of Tipp since November 2015 but steps away after two disappointing defeats in as many games after they were shockingly knocked out of the Munster Championship by Limerick. …

Kilkenny goalkeeper Eoin Murphy believes that Tipperary are the team setting the standard this year following their impressive performances in the Munster Championship so far.  Liam Sheedy’s side have breezed to comprehensive wins over Cork, Waterford and Clare, scoring a combined total of 7-79 across all three games. While the Premier County are soaring, it has been another bleak year …

In June of last year in Semple Stadium, Clare knocked Tipperary out of the hurling championship with a two-point win. After one loss and two draws, it was probably Tipperary’s best performance of the round-robin series but they conceded a five-point lead in the final 10 minutes and the 2016 All Ireland champions had to watch the rest of the …

They may not have been the best exhibitions of Munster hurling but today’s results in the provincial championships proved crucial in the round-robin table. Limerick overcame Waterford on a scoreline of 2-24 to 0-10 sending them to an early championship exit for the second year running while Tipperary exacted their revenge on Clare with a 3-21 to 0-17 win in …

We are over the halfway point in the Munster and Leinster hurling round robin series’ and all places in the All Ireland qualifiers are still up for grabs.  As well as that, Offaly and Antrim face into a pivotal clash in the Joe McDonagh Cup. The counties have named their sides for the weekend’s games and you can find the …

Clare welcome Tipperary to Cusack Park on Sunday for what is probably the standout fixture of the GAA calendar this weekend.  The width of the post separated the sides in Semple Stadium last year as a late flurry from Clare saw them dump their neighbours out of the championship in June. The rivalry between Clare and Tipperary is fierce and …

Tipperary legend Eoin Kelly has dismissed talk of the Premier County being the favourites to win the All Ireland Hurling Championship in 2019. Liam Sheedy’s side have won two from two in the Munster Championship, scoring 4-58 so far, 4-49 from play. They still have two games left to play in the round-robin series and despite getting knocked out in …

It wasn’t the easiest win for Clare against Waterford in their Munster round-robin opener last month, clinging on for a one-point win in Walsh Park. The Banner County led by six points at half-time but a rejuvenated Waterford fought back before a point by Ryan Taylor clinched the narrow win for Clare. The manner in which Clare allowed Waterford claw …

Liam Sheedy was quick to downplay the significance of his side’s seven-point win against Cork in the Munster hurling championship last weekend, and wisely so. “It’s two points in the bank, nothing more. Two points won’t get you anywhere in this championship. One performance won’t get you out.”   Managing expectations will be high on his list of priorities following …

Much was made of Liam Sheedy’s decision to start 11 of the players from the All Ireland final in 2016, preferring their experience to the use of the U21 All Ireland winners from last year.  Of those 11 players, five were involved in 2010 when Tipperary last won the All Ireland under the Portroe man – Brendan Maher, Seamus Callanan, …

It was a frantic start to the 2019 Hurling Championship with games across Munster, Leinster and the Joe McDonagh Cup at the weekend.  There were important wins for Clare and Tipperary in Munster while it was Galway and Kilkenny who walked away with the points in Leinster. We have chosen our top performers from across the various teams to feature …

Cork manager John Meyler has admitted that his side must come away from Limerick next week with a win if they are to save their season.  The reigning Munster champions travel to the home of All Ireland champions in the second round of the Munster round-robin series following their 2-28 to 1-24 loss to Tipperary in Pairc Ui Chaoimh yesterday. …

There were serious questions about this Tipperary side going into their Munster Senior Championship opener against Cork in Pairc Ui Chaoimh today.  Given their early championship exit in 2018 and their mixed performances in the league, it was hard to gauge how this team compared to their other Munster counterparts. Questions were also asked about their older contingent, the heroes …
