Jason Lonergan: Clonmel Commercials breaking new ground

Jason Lonergan of Clonmel Commercials believes that a win over Tir Chonaill Gaels in the Club All-Ireland senior quarter-final on Sunday would be a huge statement for Tipperary football and set the standard for future generations.

Commercials made history on two weeks ago when they beat Nemo Rangers to become the first Tipp side to claim the Munster club senior football title. There is no time to celebrate for the Clonmel side however, as London outfit Tir Chonaill Gaels stand between them and an All-Ireland semi-final.

“A win for the club would be massive but it would also make a huge statement for Tipperary football,” said Lonergan. “Hopefully driving the Tipperary teams of the future.”
