Munster Final Double victory:
Well done to Michael Ryan and his Tipperary Senior hurling squad who defeated Waterford in spectacular fashion by 5-19 to 0-13 in Gaelic Grounds Limerick on Sunday last. This was a fantastic team performance and despite the poor weather conditions the team put Waterford to the sword. Well done to John McGrath of Loughmore Castleiney who won the Man of the match award bagging 3-2. On a brief side note it was fantastic to see all three man of the match nominees on the Sunday Game from the Mid division. They now go forward to the All Ireland Semi final on 14th August against Clare or Galway. Well done also to Liam Cahill and his minor squad who got the day off to the perfect start with a comprehensive victory over Limerick.
