VICTORY IN YESTERDAY’S Munster senior hurling final may have come at a cost for Tipperary with reports emerging that Pádraic Maher sustained a serious shoulder injury during the game.
Maher, 26, was superb in a sweeper role for the Premier County but was seen leaving the ground with his left arm in a sling.
It is understood that Maher damaged the AC joint in his shoulder in the early exchanges and further tests will be conducted to discover the full extent of the damage.
A grade 1 or 2 injury is the best case scenario for Maher as he targets Tipp’s next outing in the 2015 championship – an All-Ireland semi-final against Cork or Galway on August 16.
Maher could be back in training within a fortnight depending on the severity of the knock but a more serious problem would see the Thurles Sarsfields man face a race against time to make the last four clash.
Please take me back
This could have been good, but it wasn’t
Sorry I really wanted to like this but it was brutal, the Après Match lads can rest easy.
Last part of the sketch when Charlie asked how many support a league of Ireland club summed up the west brit band wagoners bar stool vermin was met with silence.
Eh, yeah, vermin. Absolute vermin. The cheek of them
Well that was pure muck anyways
