Kelly steps down as Tipp boss after Tailteann Cup exit

Paul Kelly has stepped down as Tipperary football manager following their exit from the Tailteann Cup this afternoon.

The Premier County men went down by eight points to neighbours Limerick to end their championship interest for 2024.

Kelly was appointed as boss last November on a three-year term.

The Thomas Davis, Dublin clubman replaced the outgoing manager David Power, who had led Tipp to an improbable Munster title in 2020.

A statement from Tipperary GAA read: "Following today's defeat to Limerick in the Tailteann Cup, Tipperary senior football manager Paul Kelly has informed Tipperary GAA that he has decided to step down as Tipperary senior football manager.

"Tipperary GAA would like to thank Paul for his contribution to football in the county since being appointed and we wish him the very best of good luck in his future endeavours."
