Tipperary Under 20 Football panel is confirmed

By Shane Brophy

Tipperary under 20 football manager Paddy O’Gorman has announced a 37-man panel for the upcoming championship.

There are a healthy 13 survivors from last years squad who only missed out on reaching a Munster Final on score difference following a controversial draw with Cork in their final round-robin game.

Paddy O’Gorman, who was a selector under the last two under 20 managers, Paddy Christie and Niall Fitzgerald, steps up into the hot-seat after guiding the CBS High School Clonmel to the final of the Munster Post Primary Schools Senior ‘A’ Football – Corn Ui Mhuiri, where they went down to Tralee CBS.

Tipperary’s Munster Championship campaign will begin with a round-robin phase one, starting away to Clare on Saturday, 14th March, before hosting Limerick the following Saturday, concluding with a trip to Waterford on March 28th. The top two teams from this phase will progress to a second round robin phase along with Cork and Kerry, starting on April 9th, while the third and fourth placed teams in phase 1 will play in a Munster ‘B’ final with the winners progressing to an All-Ireland ‘B’ semi-final.
