Tipperary captain Ronan Maher says they want to “rectify a couple of wrongs” that have occurred over the past few years by hopefully landing silverware this season.

Liam Cahill’s side have won three of their four outings in the Allianz League to sit top of Division 1A ahead of Galway on score difference and head-to-head.

Next up for the Premier men is a showdown with Kilkenny at UPMC Nowlan Park on Sunday (1.15pm) and, speaking to GAA.ie, Maher says this new group are keen to get Tipp hurling back to where it should be.

“I love playing hurling for Tipperary and I suppose this is a totally new group of players and I suppose we really want to rectify a couple of wrongs that have went by the last few years and that's really driving me as a player,” he said.

“It'd be really nice to get some silverware with this group, a lot of lads are similar age to myself and you know there is a lot of hurt there but you can only fuel that in the right ways going forward.

“Sport is like that I suppose, you get setbacks and it's how you respond. So that's one thing that's driving me as well, and just to represent everybody at home and get Tipperary hurling back to where everybody knows it should be and where it belongs and we're trying to do that."
