Shane Ronayne was left mulling over a case of ‘what might have been’ as he reflected on a pretty impressive display against reigning All-Ireland Senior champions Dublin in their Lidl Ladies Football League Division 1 opener on Sunday.

Last year’s All-Ireland Intermediate winners were so close to pulling off a shock, and Ronayne was obviously pretty pleased with aspects of his sides gameplay, after the sides shared the spoils.

"I think our first half display, and to lead by five-points against the All-Ireland champions and to hold them to two points - look it was brilliant,” he began.

“It was probably the best 30 minutes we have played. The last 20 minutes against Cork last year was brilliant as well in the league.

"Look these players are very good. They just need to start believing in their own potential. There's no reason why they can't be competing with all the big guns. There's savage talent in that dressing room. There's been great work done with underage in Tipperary. Those minors today didn't look like minors."
