    I didn’t give Nenagh CBS much of a chance in the final. Some win for a small school against the big favourites! That’s the big two done this year for Nenagh. Dean Ryan and Harty Cup

    Was impressed with Tipp yesterday, looked fit and sharp. Ronan isn't the answer at full back though, much more effective in the half back line. That's a position that needs to be sorted.

    Ronan is cover for full back, I'd imagine, in case anything happens to Breen (he was managing Clonmel high school v Blackwater in the B Harty comp yesterday). That said, I think if Ronan gets enough games at full back he'd be more than able for it.

    Didn't Ronan start full back last week also? I don't think Breen is the answer either, again he'll be much more effective out the field. I'd like to see Seamus Kennedy or Barry Heffernan tried there.

    Yeah, either can do a job there. But it's still a case of asking someone who is not a natural full back to do a job. I think Breen is an excellent full back.

    Of those 3 , Heffernan has looked like a fullback in the times he's played there . But the further away from the oppositions goal Ronan is , the better

    Impression I got was that Tipp pulled up a bit in the second half, and could have won by a lot more if they were bothered.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I think it was the 2021 championship vs Kerry. Got sent off that day.

    Will be 31 this year so you'd hope he may have another season in a Tipp jessey. More unlikely though.

    Great win for the footballers. Shelley has been crowing a lot on Tipp FM about the need for them to start getting more than 13 points and too dependent on Seanie. All correct. But they've got over 13 in the first two games if even still dependent on Seanie. But Sweeney is getting closer to a come back sp hopefully that will help him out. That said, very young side and this will be a journey. Great win on the road.

    A few things, Michael Breen is not a full back, he's too easily turned when he's isolated.

    I was very disappointed that after about 15-20 minutes yesterday we were playing a lot of long ball into the full forward line with very little sticking. There's no point doing the huge amount of passing around the defence if the end result is playing a ball that's 50 -50 at best. If you're going to hit long ball, then at least do it early.

    For people at the game was Jake Morris moved to the half forward line when he got the goal and two points? Looked it on the telly. Our two corner forwards looked weak on the telly, quite a bit of ball in front of them they couldn't control or claim. Bryan O Meara is a lovely classy looking hurler, Barry Heffernan looked good when he came on. Craig Morgan looked great, Connolly went well in midfield, could he find a place there?

    Assuming that injuries aside we'll have Barrett and Morgan in the corners, and Ronan, B. Heffernan and Brian O Meara between 3 and 6 with the spare one to wingback, with all the rest fighting for one defensive spot. Could two of, Breen, Dan, Seamus Kennedy, Connolly fill one midfield and one half forward role? or even Barry Heff to midfield and one of the above to wing back?

    IF Noel fills one midfield, and Tynan and O Connor and Jake and Jason Forde, we're very close to a strong starting 15. It would be nice to see one more forward stick their hand up between now and championship start.

    Not that small a school and considering strength of many local clubs its a surprise the schools record is as poor as it is.

    But huge to win the two cups they did get this year

    The likes of Ard scoil, Kilkenny CBS, and St. Kieran's would easily have nearly three times the number of students. There are many schools around those clubs in North Tipp.

    And scoil had 9 clare minor or ex minor panelists plus whatever Limerick players were available, that's quite a panel

    very enjoyable game , tipp still a little loose at the back and in the middle 3rd at times , but giving the nature of the changes its a very good result , craig morgan got some score at the start of the second half , connor bowe looks to have improved to another level from last year which has scary levels of potential

    sean ryan looks like hes going to be a seriously dangerous inside forward just need to compose himself a bit more , had one of his two goal chances been taken at the start of the second half it probably would have been game over , he had tj brennan chasing he's heels today

    some scoring from gearoid o'connor too , the only thing is , galway will be much stronger then this come championship and bar stupidity at the end from sean linnane it could have been a much closer finish , good game all the same though

    Any word on Jake and O’Mara? Great to win it with both them coming off so early.

    Led from start to finish. When we were caught, we went again. Pretty good. Thought we'd struggle when O'Mara and Jake went off early doors. And we did. O'Mara was a loss in the half back line but we settled in the 2nd half. Thought Breen did well on Whelan. Jake wasn't there to deliver today but others stepped up.

    Been a lot of changes over the last few weeks. A lot of different players but its good to get these guys experience. That was a good game to get this time of the year.

    No Forde, Dan, Noel, Connolly, Barrett, and a few more. They might be experiencing some squeaky bum time. Good. We need more competition for places. Third MOTM for O'C in a week - needs a few weeks off now.

    Perhaps, Kehoe is better as a sub... maybe I'm wrong but his best games seem to happen when he comes on. Not an easy thing to do to make an impact as a sub but he does have it in his locker.

    Poor oul Darragh Stakelum had to come off as quick as he came on. That time of year now - think Tipp are in week 6 of a heavy block of training, like everyone else I'd imagine. Hamstrings and soft tissue is really going to be tested now. Don't know how the college players who make it to the latter stages of the fitz do it... it's a lot of games.

    Sean Ryan got down on himself very quickly. I watched him very closely. Giving out to himself from early. Needs to relax. Has a habit of touching the ball away from himself to turn his man on the spin (you can't do that at this level.) Has to be ball to hand. Needs to develop unorthodox striking when in on goal - you can't strike normally at this level. Defenders are too fast and cute for that at inter county level. Doing a lot right but needs to work on a few things.
