After the match Tipperary manager Declan Ryan mentioned that he was still looking for more from his players, saying "I don't think we played as well as we could have in the first half, The guys battled well and we were delighted to go in level at half-time. We finished very strongly and that's always pleasing, We've done that in the last couple of games. We can be very happy with our finish anyway."[13]
