Kelly keeps grounded

Tipperary's Eoin Kelly celebrates scoring the opening goal of the game during the All-Ireland SHC semi-final win over Limerick
Tipperary forward Eoin Kelly says that his team are delighted with Sunday's win Kilkenny, but says there is still plenty more work to do.

Tipp gained their first win first win on Sunday at Thurles against the team which defeated them in last year's All-Ireland final to collect their first points in Division One of the National Hurling League and Kelly says that the team must now focus and get a few more wins under their belts

"We have two points now so we're delighted," said Kelly. "This time last week we were wondering where we were going to get these two points from so thankfully we are on the board now and looking forward to next week's game. There is plenty to work on. We have a tough run-in now because this was to be our weekend off, the same for Kilkenny.

"It's flat out from here with games and I'm sure there will be injuries and that picked up; it's just try and get two more points on the board next week."

Liam Sheedy's charges face another tough task when they host Galway on Sunday week, where they will be gunning for a second win in as many game against the Tribesmen.

"Galway are really on top form - they have four (points) from four and are finding a few new players as well, and when the Portumna players come back they will be a real force to be reckoned with," said the Tipp attacker.
