It's my job to have the team prepared in a manner that they will be able to produce a performance that was a lot better than that. It's highly embarrassing and we're very demoralised after it, any analysis of us is probably balanced by how good Tipperary were at times. I thought we started the game reasonably well, Ironically, we went fairly conventional at the start and seemed to be getting a bit of a foothold into it. We pushed on with 25 minutes to go and the floodgates opened, It's very, very disappointing I have to say." http://hoganstand.com/Tipperary/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=257891 McGrath and Deise 'demoralised' after disappointing defeat 11 July 2016 Hogan Stand 11 July 2016 Man of the Match John McGrath speaking to The Sunday Game said "When I was getting up this morning I wasn't envisaging anything like that, despite the scoreline it was still a massively, massively tough game. We just stuck to our task, we just worked really hard, the breaks go for you some days and when you work I think they fall for you that bit more. We just had a huge work-rate and, thankfully, things paid off in the end." http://hoganstand.com/Tipperary/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=257890 Hard work the key to Tipp's success - hat-trick hero McGrath 10 July 2016 Hogan Stand 11 July 2016 Cyril Farrell, writing in the Irish Independent, was impressed by the Tipperary performance, saying "it was just like watching Cats in their pomp, If the jerseys were changed at half-time you would have been forgiven for thinking it was Kilkenny out there for the second 35 minutes. There was a ruthlessness to Michael Ryan's men that I haven't see for a while and who took any sniff of a chance they got and kept burying nails in the Waterford coffin until the final whistle." http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/cyril-farrell-it-was-just-like-watching-cats-in-their-pomp-34872404.html Cyril Farrell: It was just like watching Cats in their pomp 11 July 2016 Irish Independent 12 July 2016 John Mullane, also writing in the Irish Independent, was disappointed in the performance of the Waterford team, saying "I needn't tell you that I didn't see that one coming. I'm absolutely gutted for the Waterford management and players. It would be easy for me to be critical and stick the boot in but I've been in that position before and it's a lonely place. Waterford have been a breath of fresh air over the last 12 months but they didn't turn up yesterday. Never mind talk of the sweeper system; the work-rate required to win a Munster final simply wasn't there."http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/john-mullane-it-upsets-me-people-will-revel-in-this-defeat-because-of-waterfords-system-34872401.html John Mullane: It upsets me people will revel in this defeat because of Waterford's system 11 July 2016 Irish Independent 12 July 2016 References Munster Category:Munster Senior Hurling Championship finals Category:Tipperary county hurling team matches Category:Waterford county hurling team matches Category:Hurling competitions in County Limerick Category:Sport in Limerick (city) Category:July 2016 sports events in Ireland
