Crunch match will be played in Tralee on Wednesday evening

Tipperary Under 20 football manager Niall Fitzgerald was delighted with his team's six-points win over Clare in the Munster Championship at Ardfinnan during the week, which keeps them alive and kicking in the championship as they prepare for their final game in Phase 2 against Kerry at Austin Stack Park, Tralee, this coming Wednesday evening. 

"We gave a performance," he stated.

"The big criticism that I have with the lads is that we were not clinical enough. We butchered, I don’t know how many chances in the second half, four times, and that was disappointing. In terms of honesty and workrate, we tried to play football and I was happy with that.

"Our subs again, as has been our hallmark this year, have come in and made an impact and every one of them who came in day made an impact. That was brilliant.

"We will see how the Kerry game goes, we are in the hunt. We have to go down and get a result in Kerry.

"This group believes that we are capable of that and we fully believe it. The scoreline there was six points in the end and we know ourselves that it could have been a hell of a lot more and that’s something for us to work on.

"If we can improve the finishing, I think that we will give Kerry a good game”.

Wednesday's game in Tralee starts at 7pm.
