Now that the dust has firmly settled on their historic 2020 Munster senior football championship success, Michael Quinlivan stressed the need for the Premier County to 'kick on'.

Tipp wrote themselves into the history books last November when they claimed a first provincial senior title since 1935 on the 100th anniversary weekend of Bloody Sunday. We'll never see something like that happen again but the Clonmel Commericals forward wants to achieve more with the county.

“It will be nice to look back in 10 years or whenever I stop playing completely between county and club, and to be able to say 'yeah we've done that, that was ticked off the list'. But look, we can't sit there and say that's it now,” Quinlivan said when speaking at the launch of the 2021 Allianz Football Leagues.

“We need to kick on, and we need to keep going. I wouldn't like for us to be still talking about it in a couple of years' time saying 'that was it and we're not even trying to achieve something similar to it.'

“Albeit look, given the weekend that was in it and all the history that went with it, it's never going to be repeated in that sense. But there's different ways in which you can make seasons memorable.

“We're just trying to keep getting better. In my opinion anyway, we just want to make 2021 memorable in its own way for whatever it is. We may not repeat what we did last year but there are different things you can do along the way that makes it memorable for everyone, the team and the people who support it.”
