Eddie Brennan: Credit Tipp players for answering their manager’s call, but Galway are just not firing for Henry Shefflin
As a former player, there are times you watch hurling and wish you were still in there – telling yourself you’d do this or that in certain situations. But looking Waterford and Tipp knock lumps out of each other on Saturday, I was glad to be nowhere near it.
It might not have been a spectacular game of hurling, but the middle third was like a warzone, both teams heading into the trenches for an almighty scrap. You couldn’t fault players for their endeavour. It was toe to toe, slugging it out, and they served up a game that had everything.
