Michael Quinlivan reflects on how Clonmel Commercials almost ‘threw it away’

Tipperary star Michael Quinlivan admits Clonmel Commercials did “everything in their power” to throw away the chance of claiming county senior football glory on Sunday.

At full-time, Commercials were celebrating a one-point victory over rivals Moyle Rovers but they had to come from six down to achieve it.

Commercials were rocked by a two-goal blast from Diarmuid Foley in the space of three first-half minutes, and also the concession of a bizarre second half goal when Liam Boland’s long-range free bounced over Paul Nolan’s head and into the net. But Commercials remained calm to claim a first title since 2012 and now turn their attention to provincial matters.
