The ten host venues had everything brilliantly organised, displaying once again what great clubs/communities we have in Tipperary.
But the real heroes of the weekend were the 1,000 children who participated in the tournament and judging by the skills displayed from all teams, the future of Tipperary Football is in good health. Well done to all the children involved.
The Michael Hogan Festival of Football continues on Saturday 30th October with the U13 tournament which will be run at nine venues across the county.
