I thought we got a grip in the middle part of the first half and we seemed to be able to grind it out. This much vaunted 'system' seemed to be up and running and we were disappointed to go in a point down. But I could have no real qualms overall. I thought Tipp were a slightly better team than us.” http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/derek-mcgrath-must-now-galvanise-waterford-342351.html DONAL O'GRADY: Derek McGrath must now galvanise Waterford 14 July 2015 Irish Independent 14 July 2015 http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/derek-mcgrath-takes-positives-from-waterford-s-defeat-1.2282564 Derek McGrath takes positives from Waterford's defeat 14 July 2015 Irish Times 14 July 2015 Tipperary manager Eamon O'Shea, who picked up his first major trophy, said "“I thought we started well, we tried to keep the ball open. In the second-half I thought we did better, we moved the ball. We got a few breaks at various times and managed to get the points.”“I don't always feel the silverware is as important as the outside thinks, but it is important. I thought it important we stayed at the game - they're a resilient bunch, they've been through a fair bit. “We had nine Munster final debutants, sometimes people think we've been going since the year 2000. We had nine people who played their first Munster final there - I think that's good, to have that transition.“I thought a five-point win - maybe those who watch the game don't call it a close game, but for me it was as close as it gets. I didn't relax until the last minute of play. http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2015/0712/714343-oshea/ Eamon O'Shea takes delight in 'battling' Tipperary victory 14 July 2015 RTÉ Sport 14 July 2015 “We've been through close games and sometimes we've come out the wrong side of them, but you have to be careful judging a team who come out the wrong side of a game by a point or two. I was always happy the team would be capable of winning a really tight match, and today was a really tight match.” http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/hurling/eamon-oshea-content-as-tipperary-patience-rewarded-342204.html Eamon O’Shea content as Tipperary patience rewarded 14 July 2015 Irish Independent 14 July 2015 Former Waterford player, John Mullane, writing in the Irish Independent, felt it was an important win for Tipperary, saying "For Tipperary, this was an important landmark under Eamon O'Shea, the first piece of silverware they have collected in his third and final season in charge. What will have pleased him most was Tipp's ability to come through a battle because those question marks remained after losing the 2013 and 2014 National League finals, and last year's All-Ireland decider." http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/john-mullane-we-should-follow-lead-of-soccer-after-minutes-silence-in-thurles-was-marred-by-a-few-shouts-31371286.html John Mullane: We should follow lead of soccer after minute's silence in Thurles was marred by a few shouts 14 July 2015 Irish Independent 14 July 2015 http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/tipp-gain-sweet-release-in-victory-cut-from-granite-31371315.html Tipp gain sweet release in victory cut from granite 14 July 2015 Irish Independent 14 July 2015 Former Tipperary player, Nicky English, writing in The Irish Times, thought that both teams could take something from the game, saying "Both Tipperary and Waterford can take something from this but, importantly, they have room to improve before the All-Ireland series and will need to, as this wasn’t a great match. A few weeks ago the consensus was that Kilkenny and Tipperary were decisively ahead of the chasing pack. But now, although they’ve won their provincial titles, I think they've both shown vulnerabilities in their game which will encourage the other four teams still in the championship." http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/nicky-english-both-tipp-and-waterford-have-plenty-of-room-for-improvement-1.2282579 Nicky English: Both Tipp and Waterford have plenty of room for improvement 14 July 2015 Irish Times 14 July 2015 On The Sunday Game on the night of the match, Tipperary captain Brendan Maher was named as the man of the match by a panel consisting of Donal Óg Cusack and Eddie Brennan. The other nominees were Tipperary's Cathal Barrett and Waterford’s Maurice Shanahan.
