Ryan and Fitzmaurice exit as men of honour

“It’s time for something new in Tipp. The group of players, we want to give them the best chance going forward. They just want to hear something new. I’ve been there a very long time and I’m certain sure those guys needed a break from me.”

“I’m at the point now where the group will benefit from a new voice and a bit of space.”

— Éamonn Fitzmaurice, August 4.
