Tipperary senior football champions Clonmel Commercials sent a clear message to all challengers as they handed Galtee Rovers a 1-16 to 0-6 trimming at New Inn on Sunday evening. 

The game was over at half-time as Commercials led 1-10 to 0-3, Jack Kennedy notching the goal after 16 minutes. Rovers made a rally of sorts after the break with three points but Commercials soon regained control to run out 13-point winners with Jason Lonergan and Sean O'Connor leading in the scoring department.
