Confident Tipp climb to new level

On a Saturday of shocks in the All-Ireland senior football championship, a mild tremor was felt at Semple Stadium as Peter Creedon’s Tipperary edged out Wexford.

The result may have come as a surprise to the bookmakers but those who have been following the remarkable progress of this Tipperary team under the softly-spoken Creedon won’t have been taken aback.

Quietly methodical, Creedon was ratified as team manager at the end of March, following the resignation of Kerry native John Evans.
