Eamon O'Shea is adamant that Tipperary have the ability to reclaim the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

Sunday's narrow defeat to Galway meant that O'Shea's three-year term at the helm finished without an All-Ireland success but he believes the Premier County's quality means they should return to the top of the pile sooner rather than later:

"We have a bright future with this group of players, and I look forward to seeing them ultimately get what they certainly have the ability to achieve - and that's an All-Ireland," the outgoing manager told Tipp FM.

"I think there's a good nucleus in there that will certainly go forward over the next number of years, we've got a reasonably good age profile.

"On the team there's a couple of guys maybe on the 30 end but there's a lot of guys now who have had the experience of winning again, so I'd be very optimistic in terms of the ability and character that's in the team.

"It comes with the caveat that everything changes from year to year, it's certainly true that we've got to get better in order to win. It will certainly take a great effort to get back again to the heights we want to be at."
