Dan McCormack was ever dependable for Tipperary, his power will be missed. A fit Dan Mc is still as good a hurler as is in the county. Always a strong tackler, skilful & he challenged fairly. The Borris hero left a big impression on supporters. Thanks for the years Dan #hurling pic.twitter.com/j8tgQ6coyc
