'Tipperary will be closed down for about a week' as celebrations begin at All-Ireland banquet

Tipperary's All-Ireland hurling champions kicked off their celebrations in style at the exclusive banquet at the Grand Hotel in Malahide on Sunday night.

Just hours after their stunning second-half comeback saw them blow Cork away in Croke Park, the Tipperary squad, management team, and supporters gathered at the traditional post-final banquet.

The celebrations were broadcast to the nation via RTÉ's The Sunday Game, where GAA legend Marty Morrissey caught up with manager Liam Cahill and captain Ronan Maher live on air.

The pair, grinning from ear to ear, reflected on the county's stunning 3-27 to 1-18 win and the team's remarkable comeback to turn the game on its head after trailing by six at the break.

But it was Marty who summed up the mood best, signing off with the line: "If you want to party, the place to be is Thurles tomorrow night. Tipperary will be closed for about a week!"

"Look at that!!"
