A week before the beginning of his debut season with Tipperary, Robert Doyle lined out at left half-forward on the TUS Midwest side that drew their Fitzgibbon Cup opener. Barring a difficult final Sunday, this debut inter-county season will conclude with All-Star corner-back selection.
In last summer’s local Tipp championship, Doyle lined out at corner-forward for Clonoulty-Rossmore, even further up the field again than he was for TUS Midwest in subsequent months.
