Liam Cahill has named his first training panel as Tipperary manager before next week’s return to intercounty training. Noel McGrath will captain the county’s senior hurlers next year with his predecessor, Ronan Maher announced as vice-captain.
There are call-ups for McGrath’s clubmate Ciarán Connolly and Bryan O’Mara both of whom were travelling last season. County champions Kilruane MacDonaghs have Niall O’Meara, who wasn’t available last year, and Kian O’Kelly included.
The champions’ captain Jerome Cahill, however, is not named.
According to the media release: “A number of players who are currently unavailable due to injury have not been included at this point. The team management will continue to assess further potential panel members before the commencement of the Allianz Hurling league in early 2023.”
