Peter Creedon named as Tipperary senior football boss on a permanent basis

Tipperary have appointed Peter Creedon as the county’s senior football manager on a full-time basis.

Creedon served as interim boss following John Evans’ decision to step down from the post last March.

After a creditable Munster championship defeat to Kerry, Tipperary subsequently won three successive matches in the All-Ireland qualifiers under the west Cork native, before losing to Down in Round 4 of the backdoor series.

Creedon’s selectors for the 2013 campaign will be Gerry McGill and Michael O'Loughlin.
