Kelly: Davy will keep our feet on the ground

Clare star Tony Kelly has backed manager Davy Fitzgerald to keep a lid on the hype that has swept through the county following September’s stunning All-Ireland senior hurling championship success.

Kelly and a host of team-mates who stormed through from the underage ranks have found themselves under intense media scrutiny since claiming the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

Kelly, 19, was honoured on the treble Friday evening when he collected the Young Hurler and Hurler of the Year awards, along with a coveted All Star.
