Manager Michael Ryan says he won't let the new All-Ireland senior hurling champions get carried away.

The Premier County stormed to a thrilling All-Ireland final win over Kilkenny on Sunday and their manager wants them to try to maintain the focus and standards that led to their latest Liam MacCarthy Cup success:

"This group are mature. The example and leadership coming from those guys is second to none, it really is. They wanted this so badly for Tipperary and it showed in their play. That's our job. We are going to have to refocus. We will certainly keep our feet on the ground," he told The Irish Examiner.

"We are renowned in Tipp for getting carried away with ourselves when we win - we'll see how we get on with that. The backroom team of people we have is very, very strong, very mature people. We've learned a lot of hard lessons over the years: We need to manage victory a lot better than we have done."
