Trophy presentation

Tipperay captain Ronan Maher accepted the Liam MacCarthy Cup from GAA president Jarlath Burns in the Hogan Stand and the team then did a victory lap around Croke Park with the trophy. [136] In his speech, Maher paid tribute to former teammate Dillon Quirke who passed away in 2022. [137] [138] [139] [140]

Reaction

Tipperary manager Liam Cahill never doubted his players saying "The honesty of that group of players – I never doubted them. I know we were all a little bit sensitive after last year with what happened, and some of the criticism was probably deserved at times, but I knew the quality of these men, My mother has probably swallowed her rosary beads and my father has probably the cows milked three times with nervousness. I'm so thrilled for everybody." [141] [142] [143] [144]

Cork manager Pat Ryan speaking after the game felt that Tipperary deserved the win saying "Look, credit to Tipperary. They came out and worked really, really hard. We were in a good position at half-time, but we got blown away in the second half.” [145] [146] [147]

Former Cork player and RTÉ analyst Donal Óg Cusack highligted Cork's failure to get to deal with Bryan O'Mara's role as sweeper saying "“Everyone from a Cork point of view is in a state of shock, really, with that second half, it's very hard to explain, I think what will frustrate Cork the most is that it was an out-and-out sweeper that was set up, and everyone's used to playing sweepers now". [148]

Tipperary player Eoghan Connolly spoke of the embarrassment after last year's failure to win a championship game and the need to put that right saying "Last year, you were afraid to walk down the town to get a coffee, we believed from the get-go when we met in late November or December that we were capable of fixing it". [149]

Tipperary player John McGrath speaking a month after the final said what happened in the second half was beyond wildest dreams "But the manner in which we won it, I don't think anyone in their wildest dreams would have come up with that scenario. There certainly was an element of shock. I knew we were relatively well up but to actually see the final score, it was kinda hard to believe that that had just happened." [150] [151] [152]

Highlights of the final were shown on The Sunday Game programme which aired at 9:30pm that night on RTÉ2 and was presented by Jacqui Hurley with match analysis from Jackie Tyrrell, Brendan Cummins, Dónal Óg Cusack, Joe Canning, Henry Shefflin, and Ursula Jacob.

Tipperary manager Liam Cahill and selector Michael Bevans were interviewed by Joanne Cantwell, with Noel and John McGrath also interviewd by Marty Morrissey at the hotel function. [153] [154]
