Tipp are now a better dual county than Galway which is depressing.

Pity more fans did not go to Tom Semple's field today. If they had they would have left the place very proud indeed.I was sat in close proximity to Georgie Hanigan's dad and i thought an ambulance would be needed for both of us before full time.
Tipp started very brightly and dominated the opening quarter with 3 points from Alan Maloney and one from Peter Acheson. Antrim were playing a counter attack game with 7 players sitting deep, when they did break they had fine scores from Conor Murray and the impressive captain James Loughrey. Tipp's defense was inspirational throughout the first half and the game in general. Paddy Codd was excellent at full back i thought, Ciaran McDonald played Tomas McGann well throughout. Brian Fox carried a mountain of ball all over the field and set many moves off.
Up front Acheson was leading by example winning breaking ball and carrying well. Quinlivan was involved in many moves and kicked a free. Maloney was the best shooter though, finishing with 6 points in total. He tracked back well as well and worked hard.
A lot of bad wides kicked in the second half will need urgent addressing if we are to trouble Donegal/Down. While the 2 point victory will be remembered for a long time as a thriller (fcuk it was ), it should of being a 5-6 point victory at least.
The fact that we have a third qualifier game in a row won is brilliant in itself, the fact that a much better performance is in us too is even better!
If just some hurling folk would come out and roar them on, Antrim fans out-singing home support was embarrassing. But as i said earlier the €20 admission fee was a joke if building up an attendance was really wanted!

Just as a matter of interest is there a certain part of Tipperary where football is mainly played or are most of the team drawn from places all over the county?Another great win for them today to go alongside the good under age teams around at the moment.

West Tipperary is now becoming a strong football division and not far off Hurling in popularity.
The Mid & North are Hurling strongholds but recently Thomas McDonaghs (North Tipperary clubs amalgamate), and Loughmore Castleiney from the Mid have won County Senior titles.The spread of players is pretty good in a Hurling mad County.
