Tipperary head to the Gaelic Grounds on Sunday with hope that they can land on the right selection, strategy and formation.
Declan Bogue IT’S A BIT PREMATURE to call it a curse, and it’s a tricky terminology to get around. Indulge us though.
And no team that was left licking ice cream in the stands on the first weekend has won the All-Ireland.Regardless of all that, Tipperary are out this weekend, in Limerick, against Limerick. Another step on the road for the Treatymen. More bugs to be wiped off the windscreen as they proceed down the dusty five-in-a-row highway, having taken all that Clare could throw at them before coming back with the big slaps right on the nose.
Advertisement Just four points from four games, but back into the Munster final nonetheless. And they crushed Tipperary by a dozen points. Last year he went after the same principles. They won all five games, and the margins were handsome: Laois by 20 points, Waterford by 10, and Antrim by 18. Snacking on the small fry, and his former side Waterford, but also comfortable against Kilkenny and Dublin .Given their geographical proximity and that Kiely works in the Abbey CBS in Tipperary, there is that strange interplay that you get along county boundaries.
The issue for Tipp is that they still can find themselves bailing water for 15-minute spells against Limerick, only to find that they are holed under the plimsoll. Seamus Kennedy is out injured, depriving them of serious leadership. Cathal Barrett might be back in time. Might not.Throughout it all, Liam Cahill has tried to find balance. You’d name at least 13 of the Limerick starting 15 off the top of your head by now but nobody feels that about Tipp.
