Tipperary players crash BBC broadcast as All-Ireland celebrations erupt around stunned manager

Tipperary's All-Ireland-winning manager Liam Cahill barely got to finish his sentence before his post-match interview on live television descended into glorious chaos.

The Tipperary boss was chatting to BBC reporter Thomas Niblock after his side's All-Ireland final triumph over Cork when he was mobbed mid-broadcast by a stampede of celebrating players who were on the traditional victory lap with the Liam MacCarthy Cup in hand.

"We've had some great players in Tipperary, and we say, 'Where are we going to find the next one from?'" Cahill said, explaining the county's hurling conveyor belt.

“Then suddenly this fella appears out of the blue, and one or two more with him - and that's just the joy of being from Tipperary."

Seconds later, his players gatecrashed the interview with hugs, roars of celebration, and an impromptu chorus of "Ole, Ole, Ole," before lifting their manager onto their shoulders to deafening cheers.

Cahill beamed, cup in hand, as Niblock desperately tried, and failed, to remind them they were still live on air.

The unforgettable moment perfectly captured the emotion of a remarkable day at Croke Park, where Tipperary sealed their 29th All-Ireland hurling crown in style.

Despite trailing by six at half-time, the Premier County blitzed Cork in a stunning second-half performance, outscoring their Munster rivals 3-14 to 0-2 after the break.

John McGrath struck two goals, Darragh McCarthy hit 1-13, and Tipp's young stars lit up the biggest stage as they stormed to a 3-27 to 1-18 win to claim their first All-Ireland since 2019.
