Tipperay upwardly mobile... but Kearns still wary of trapdoor

Tipperary 2-15 - Meath 1-10 

Tipp manager Liam Kearns dubbed this encounter with Meath as “a four-pointer,” but despite his side’s comprehensive win at Semple Stadium on Saturday night, his focus remains on securing Division 2 status in the National Football League for next season.

The win keeps Tipperary in the hunt for promotion with five points out of eight, but Kearns is still looking over his shoulder. “We are not even thinking about promotion and until we have consolidated our position in Division 2 that will be the case.”
