Tipperary are now being well backed to earn promotion from the bottom tier of the National Football League as champions after a comfortable victory over Carlow at the weekend.

Mullinahone's Mikey O’Shea contributed 1-2 to their 11-point victory at FBD Semple Stadium on Sunday, leaving the Premier County just one point behind Cavan going into the final weekend of fixtures.

David Power’s charges know a victory over London on Saturday evening will secure a place in the final and they are now hot 1/20 shots to rubber-stamp promotion, but BoyleSports have also clipped them into 7/4 to win the division, even though they were out at 8/1 having won neither of their opening two matches. 

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: “Tipperary had been out of favour in the Division Four betting after a winless start, but they have been backed off the boards now to put the seal on promotion this weekend. A showdown with Cavan looks most likely and there is growing confidence they’ll go up as champions.”
