TIPPERARY HURLER NOEL McGrath will undergo surgery for testicular cancer this Friday, the Tipperary County Board revealed this morning.
The 24-year old is a former Young Hurler of the Year and won back-to-back All-Stars in his first two years playing senior championship hurling.
The Loughmore-Castleiney forward scored one of Tipperary’s four goals as they beat Kilkenny in the 2010 All-Ireland final, a victory that denied Kilkenny their famous ‘Drive for Five’.
The statement from Tipperary reads:
