Maher praises fighting spirit of Tipp hurlers despite loss

Senior Hurling Captain Padraic Maher it certainly wasn’t a lack of desire or commitment on the part of Tipperary that lead to their defeat against Cork.

The Premier face into the Qualifiers after exiting the Munster championship against the Rebel County in yesterday’s quarter final.

It was a point for point thrilling encounter at Semple Stadium but a Cork goal in the dying minutes sealed victory for them.

Speaking to Tipp FM afterwards Captain Padraic Maher says Tipp struggled to contain the opposition who were just a bit sharper than them

Meanwhile Tipperary Manager Michael Ryan says his side will now reset and refocus in preparations for the qualifiers.

They have a five to six weeks gap before their next clash and the Upperchurch man says they will have to put the loss behind them and find a different route
