And boss Cahill expressed delight at his side banishing the ghosts of past campaigns with yesterday's 1-30 to 1-21 win.
He declared: 'We, and I say management, coaches, everybody involved, didn't represent that jersey correctly last year. It weighed very hard on us over the winter.
'We took unbelievable inspiration from our minors last year with the way they grounded out the All-Ireland.
'Leaving Nowlan Park, I was so happy to be a Tipperary man but I was also so embarrassed that our flagship team didn't follow that and set that trend.

'We had to rely on a group of younger players in Tipperary to show us the Tipperary way.
'My players acknowledge that. We've made the necessary adjustments to the personnel in the dressing room and they've gone after everything they've been asked.
'They've backed me to the hilt in what I had to do. Everybody has worked extremely hard and I'm just happy now that we're one of the three out of Munster."

Salah in tears as Liverpool fans pay tribute to Jota after Bournemouth win
Liverpool star Mo Salah was moved to tears following Liverpool's triumph over Bournemouth as supporters at Anfield paid homage to Diogo Jota. Tributes poured in for Jota before, during and after the match, following his heartbreaking death in a motor vehicle crash in July. Salah had netted Liverpool's fourth strike as they repelled a Bournemouth fightback to secure a 4-2 victory at Anfield. Supporters throughout the ground sang Jota's name once the final whistle sounded, and Salah was clearly moved as he approached the faithful. "You've just seen there, an outpouring of emotion from Mo Salah," Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville said. "I think it's going to be like that for Liverpool players, staff, fans throughout the season.", reports the Mirror. "It's just going to hit them at moments during games, at the end of games, after victories, after defeats. They'll recognise they've got their team-mate, their colleague, someone they loved, not with them any more. It's incredibly sad, and obviously what we've just seen there from Mo Salah was really special." (Image: Liverpool FC via Getty Images) Moments earlier, Salah had clinched victory for Liverpool with a stoppage-time goal. However, victory wasn't always assured for the reigning Premier League champions. Liverpool went in 1-0 up at the break, with Hugo Ekitike scoring on his Premier League debut, and Cody Gakpo doubled the lead early in the second half. The lead didn't last, though, with Antoine Semenyo scoring twice for the visitors. It looked as though victory would elude victory, only for super-sub Federico Chiesa to volley home from around the penalty spot. The goal was the Italian's first in the Premier League, and just the third he has scored for Liverpool since joining from Juventus. "I said on commentary that it was a weird decision. Taking [Florian] Wirtz off and Chiesa on," commentator Jamie Carragher said. "But that's a magical moment for him. A last minute winner in front of the Kop. I thought he mis-hit it but he actually got really good contact on it. It doesn't go in with any great pace." Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock was covering the game for BBC Radio 5 Live and he had praise for Salah's clincher. "So often we see him come off the right flank onto his left foot but this time it comes from the opposite side," he said. "He backs the defenders off into the penalty area, cuts inside on his right foot and another pass into that far corner. A quite brilliant finish."

Maeda helps much-changed Celts cruise past Falkirk into League Cup quarter-finals
Scottish League Cup: Celtic 4 Falkirk 1 Dane Murray celebrated his new contract with his first Celtic goal as the holders beat Falkirk 4-1 in the Premier Sports Cup. The 22-year-old defender headed home Celtic's third goal of the second-round clash at Parkhead. Murray, who has already overcome two separate cruciate ligament injuries in his career, earlier signed a new deal that keeps him at the club until 2028. Daizen Maeda and Alistair Johnston were also on target and Falkirk defender Liam Henderson put through his own net before Keelan Adams scored an impressive consolation goal for the Premiership newcomers. Centre-back Murray was one of six players coming into the Celtic line-up alongside goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo, Auston Trusty, Arne Engels and Johnny Kenny. The Hoops beat then Championship side Falkirk 5-2 on their way to winning last season's tournament and this was another open encounter with both sides creating chances in the first half. Kenny volleyed wide early on after James Forrest's lay-off and former Celtic goalkeeper Scott Bain saved long-range strikes from Callum McGregor and Kieran Tierney before scrambling to meet Henderson's wayward passback, which just went wide. Ross MacIver dragged a shot wide at the other end after a loose pass from Murray. The breakthrough came in the 26th minute after McGregor returned the ball into the box following a corner. Tierney ran on to meet the cross and nodded the ball down for Maeda to score with a diving header. There were further chances at each end before the break. Sinisalo saved brilliantly from Calvin Miller's 25-yard strike before denying Alfredo Agyeman and MacIver. Engels and Forrest missed close-range headers at the other end. Celtic were more dominant after the break and doubled their lead in the 54th minute after Falkirk lost possession from a throw-in. Johnston chased down Miller as the former Celtic player headed back towards his own goal and the right-back won the ball before curling into the far corner with his left foot. Murray got his big moment in the 61st minute when he headed home from an inswinging corner from Engels. Celtic went further ahead three minutes later as Yang Hyun-jun made an instant impact after coming on with home debutant Shin Yamada. The South Korean winger ran past two opponents after Celtic won the ball back deep in the Bairns half, and his low ball across the goalmouth was turned into his own net by Henderson. The noisy visiting fans got a chance to celebrate three minutes later when right-back Adams arrowed a shot into the top corner from 20 yards. That ended the flurry of goals as Celtic safely navigated their way into Saturday evening's quarter-final draw and avoided any injuries ahead of their Champions League play-off first leg against Kairat Almaty on Wednesday. Celtic: Sinisalo, Johnston, Murray, Trusty, Tierney (Scales 63), Forrest (Nygren 77), Engels (Bernardo 77), McGregor, McCowan, Maeda (Yang 63), Kenny (Yamada 63). Subs Not Used: Schmeichel, Idah, Hatate, Ralston. Falkirk: Bain, Adams, Neilson, Henderson, McCann, Miller (Arfield 66),Cartwright (Allan 54), Spencer, Tait (Oliver 78), Tait (Allan 78), Agyeman (Nesbitt 54), MacIver (Graham 66).

Eve McMahon drops down after starting error in Sweden
After previously incurring a penalty for early starting, Ireland's Eve McMahon plummeted from second to 20th place today at the European Championships in Sweden when she was again disqualified for a starting error. The Howth sailor was not alone as ten others similarly found the strong tide difficult to judge accurately. If two more races are completed on the final day then another series discard can drop the weighty penalty and she could still reach a top-five result. Her brother Ewan lies 15th in the men's event just eight points ahead of double Olympian Finn Lynch from Carlow. The points are very tight in this event as well so a good day for either or both sailors could dramatically improve their final standings. However, all three Irish boats will need to regain the form they displayed at the start of the six-day event to finish off their 2025 season on a high.
