Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice feels that Tipperary are a 'coming' team.

The sides clash in the Munster SFC on Sunday afternoon and Kerry are strong favourites to advance to the provincial semi final.

Tipp's success at underage level in recent years has shown the work that is being done in the county and Fitzmaurice feels that it is only a matter of time before they become more of a force at senior level.

"They are a coming team," Fitzmaurice told the Kerryman. "The lads that won an All-Ireland minor title two years ago are a year older, wiser and stronger and have another National League campaign under their belts.

"The Tipperary minors are into their third straight Munster final and if these players stick at it then they are definitely going to become a force. We're not going to be underestimating them or worried about the draw or anything else."
