Sympathy: Ballinahinch GAA club wish to extend their sympathies to the extended Kelly family on the death of Phil Kelly. Phil was a former hurler with the club and also a selector with the renowned U-15 team in 1969 which brought the first honours back to the club. Despite living and working in Limerick, Phil remained a loyal Ballinahinch and Tipperary supporter throughout his life. Many of Phil's family are still hurling with us and play an active role in the club's administration. Go ndéana Dia grásta ar a anam dílis.
