Tipperary manager Liam Cahill cited his players “really good attitude and desire” after yesterday’s emphatic win against Galway in the opening round of the Allianz Hurling League.

Darragh McCarthy (penalty), Gearoid O’Connor and Dylan Walsh bagged the goals as Tipp romped to a 3-25 to 2-16 victory at Pearse Stadium, where the winners had six senior debutants in their line-up.

Speaking to RTE Sport afterwards, Cahill praised his group and also outlined what they aim to achieve with the league this season.

"Overall, happy with the display, really good attitude and desire from the players, which is number one," he said.

"We need to bring that real energy with us every day and build back up our stock from the way the championship ended last year.

"This is what we're going to do with this league: use it as best we can to start building blocks, putting in new players, getting some badly needed wins again to give everybody that shove on to get back to competing again with all the top teams."
