What a day that was for Tipperary hurling on Sunday, despite being massive underdogs the Premier came out and simply blew the Rebels off the park.
Prior to the match, the Tipperary management chose to pull up outside Croke Park stadium and walk in with hearing their supporters shouting and roaring at them. Genius move from their manger Liam Cahill.

Usually teams for an #AllIreland final arrive quietly under the stand, away from supporters until they're on the field, however the Tipperary bus for the final pulled up outside Croke Park & the players walked in with applause from supporters in their ears before the match 👏 pic.twitter.com/DtYUkA6EVG

That was a massive loss for Cork and a huge one for Tipperary, they could push on and win a few more now, whereas Cork will find it hard to come back from this, there will be a lot of soul searching over the winter months. Will Pat Ryan and his management team stay on?
The next few weeks and months will be interesting ..
I hope Pat and his team will stay on. They will have learned from their experience and be prepared for the next time.
