Just 12 months after the heartbreaking defeat to Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final, Tipperary forward Noel McGrath is delighted to be back in Croke Park and another crack at the Cats.

McGrath was outstanding in the semi final win over Waterford last weekend as the Premier County brushed aside the challenge of the Déise to set up another meeting with their old rivals.

Now, they can look forward to the final and McGrath knows it will be a tough test, but he is determined to make up for last year's loss.

"It's good to be back in an All-Ireland final again," said McGrath. "We are looking forward to the final now. It is going to be a very tough task for us.

"You just have to do your best on the day, and you never know what might happen. We created a pace against Waterford and we are going to have to try and do the same the next day." Tweet
