Tipperary may have reached the Division 1 quarter-finals in the Allianz Hurling League, but their manager Eamon O'Shea certainly isn't getting carried away.
The Premier County booked their spot after a convincing 2-22 to 1-13 victory over bitter rivals Kilkenny at Semple Stadium on Sunday, with Seamus Callanan and Niall O'Meara between them contributing 2-09 of their tally.
Speaking to RTÉ Sport afterwards, O'Shea summed up the game by saying: "We had a difficult start but we recovered well. In the second half, we kept our composure at a time when there were few scores. Niall O'Meara worked hard during the game. That's what you's expect from him."
Looking at the bigger picture, O'Shea is not placing too much stock in at last seeing off the Black and Amber and reaching the knockout stage of the league.
"We're through to the quarter-final and that will do me," he added.
"It's a game in March and you have to take it for what it is. We won a game today. Sometimes we lose games. It has no bearing on what is to come in any month following this. So just be cautious.”
