Michael Quinlivan says victory crucial for Tipperary’s long-term progression

Tipperary forward Michael Quinlivan insists that he has no regrets about turning down the chance to pursue a professional soccer career.

The Clonmel Commercials ace had a big decision to make in early 2011 as Waterford United put a contract offer on the table.

But Quinlivan turned it down to link up with Tipperary’s minor footballers – and finished the season as an All-Ireland medallist.
