John McGrath intentionally increased his own pressure ahead of Tipperary's Munster championship opener against Limerick because he knew a missed opportunity could be his last for the summer. McGrath had lost a starting spot in recent years but never properly doubted what he offered the county team. The Loughmore-Castleiney forward produced two goals and one point as Tipperary secured a confidence-boosting draw with Limerick. The result marked a positive first step on Tipperary's journey toward All-Ireland glory in July and provided both team and individual momentum heading into the championship.
John McGrath put more pressure on himself than he usually would ahead of Tipperary's Munster championship opener against Limerick this year in the knowledge that if he didn't take his chance, "it could be the last one you get for the summer."
The Loughmore-Castleiney ace blasted 2-1 as Tipperary secured a confidence-boosting draw against the Treaty in the first step on their journey to All-Ireland glory in July.
