- By STEPHEN BARRY

The five-time All-Ireland winner tries to get neither too high about victories nor too low about defeats.

For instance, he felt the noise created by their opening-day loss to Waterford was overblown.

They put that to bed by dismissing Kilkenny on Sunday.

However, last summer's All-Ireland quarterfinal exit against Dublin was harder to take.

There was no next day out as the Treaty signed off without silverware for the first time since John Kiely's debut year as manager in 2017.
