Maher’s an injury concern for Tipp

The Tipp senior hurling management team say they will be pulling out all the stops to ensure captain Brendan Maher and Bonner Maher will be fit for the All Ireland replay.

Bonner Maher suffered an injury following a collision in training last week – the Lorrha Dorrha forward was the Tipp goalscorer in the drawn game.

Meanwhile Borrisoleigh's Brendan Maher has been unable to take a full part in training due to a calk strain.

The loss of either of the Maher's from the replay would be a considerable blow to Tipp but coach Paudie O'Neill says they're hopeful both players will be available on Saturday week.
