Cahill relishing second crack at Cork in Under 21 final

Such is the gap to be bridged, Tipperary can't looking too far ahead of themselves admitted manager Liam Cahill.

A thirteen point deficit to Cork in the Munster final just under eight weeks ago is a considerable one to bridge, even if the sides will start level at zero-zero this Sunday in the Gaelic Grounds.

For Liam Cahill and his management team, it is all about getting the group to perform to a level they didn't that evening at Pairc Ui Chaoimh and if they do that, then they have a chance of winning.

“We're relishing a second crack at Cork, we're really looking forward to seeing have we improved,” admitted the Tipperary manager.

“It's a big demand for us, big pressure on us, it could easily go the same way (as the Munster Final). We have to believe that we are capable of closing that gap.

“Cork's demolition of Wexford, the way they disposed of us in the Munster Final, and the way their key senior players are back now and fully training with their U-21 set-up, they'll be even better again than the day they were against Wexford in the semi-final.”
