Jake Morris and Mark Kehoe are leading the charge for Liam Cahill's side.
COMING INTO THE final 20 minutes of the 2019 All-Ireland semi-final, Tipperary were trailing Wexford by five points and staring elimination in the face.On top of that, John McGrath had just been dismissed with a second yellow card, leaving the team with an even slimmer chance of a revival. Then Tipp manager Liam Sheedy turned to his bench to shuffle the deck and throw in some reinforcements.
In the Munster round-robin series, they racked up a colossal 3-20 between them, looking particularly devastating against the reigning All-Ireland champions Limerick. That tally was accomplished despite Morris missing out on the final game against Waterford through injury.In their provincial opener against Clare, Morris scooped 2-4 while Kehoe picked up one point. Their next outing was a thriller with Cork where Kehoe scored 1-4 and Morris came away with three points.
“They’ve had their success together before and they would have huge confidence. They know how to respond to those men.” The Covid-enforced interruptions of 2020 and 2021 didn’t help either, as training schedules and competition structures were put through the washing machine. There’s also the high-profile retirements to list out as well, including John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer, Brendan Maher and Pádraic Maher.
“One thing I noticed about both of those players is that they’re big game players. Any time Mark has played in Croke Park, he has performed maybe better than some of the other days out. They’re two very talented players. They have a great burst of speed as well which is very helpful when you get ahead of an opponent.
