Rhys Shelly has pledged that Tipperary will bounce back after their Championship campaign petered out badly.
Tipp were on the brink of a Munster final appearance facing into their last round robin game against already-eliminated Waterford, but a six-point defeat sent them a different route and though they beat Offaly easily, they were flattered by a two-point loss to Galway in Saturday’s All-Ireland quarter-final.
Shelly said: “There are a lot of positives now and there’s a lot of youth in this team and a lot of maturity. The senior fellas on the team were exceptional this year - the likes of Seamie Callanan and Noel [McGrath] and Bonner [Patrick Maher].
