Tipperary remain ‘standard bearers’, warns Micheál Donoghue

Davy Fitzgerald’s exuberance last weekend may have belied his own “chill the beans” advice, but Micheál Donoghue was recommending similar caution after this victory.

The county’s 10th Division 1 title couldn’t have come much easier than this but Donoghue was insisting the team they felled were still “the standard bearers, the team to beat and we’re under no illusions about that”.

He added: “We’re delighted with the win but we’re still very, very conscious of the year and trying to get our ship in order. We had the win and the margin was wide but there’s still a lot to work on now over the next couple of weeks.
