Peter Acheson says Tipperary's footballers want to go further than the last twelve.

The Premier County are through to the fourth round of the Qualifiers, where they will face Galway, and they are now setting their sights on an All-Ireland quarter-final place.

"It's the second time in the last three years now that we are in the last twelve and it hurt the last time because we got rated as 28th team in the country or something like that," the Moyle Rovers clubman states in The Irish Examiner.

"But we're not happy with the last twelve. We want to go to the last eight and maybe further."

Reflecting on last weekend's stunning victory over Laois, which was achieved despite a rousing O'Moore County comeback in the second half, the Tipp attacker adds: "I looked around and I knew the lads on the team and that we had it in us.

"No one thought it was lost. We knew we had it and shot one or two scores. The goal at the end sealed it."
