New football panel members grasp opportunities

The unavailability of many regular panel members has led to the promotion of some members of the U21 side that performed so well during Tipp's run to the All-Ireland final in that grade last year.

The Premier County drew with Limerick in their opening National League fixture last weekend and continue their Division 3 campaign against Clare in Tipperary Town on Sunday.

Some analysts thought the likes of Josh Keane and Jimmy Feehan performed very well in Kilmallock.

Liam Kearns believes Colm O'Shaughnessy, Niall Donovan and Alan Maloney could be added to that list.
