“Devastated” Colm Bonnar has acknowledged Tipperary have to be prepared to face a promotion-relegation play-off against Kerry next month.

Having finished last in Munster, the ignominy of Tipperary’s season may not be over if Kerry win the Joe McDonagh Cup final and the counties clash for a place in the Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2023.
