The Tony Considine column: Lesson from Ennis is Cork's hurlers need to show more bite

In my opinion, Galway and Clare, should have been playing either Westmeath and Laois to get back into the preliminary round. Anyway, that’s not going to change and it’s just my personal opinion.

It shows what a team can do when their hurling season is on the line. But they haven’t repeated that kind of performance since.

Then you have quality forwards, Bubbles O’Dwyer, Jason Forde, Seamus Callinan, and John McGrath. But they suffered a big loss the last day with the real hard man of that forward division, Bonner Maher, picking up a serious injury. A massive loss for Tipperary and very hard on the player himself.
