Tipperary Senior Footballers
Hard luck to the Tipperary Senior Footballers, whose Tailteann Cup campaign came to an end following a 1-17 to 0-12 defeat to Wicklow in round 3 at Aughrim last Saturday evening. See match report.
Following the game against Wicklow, Tipperary captain Paudie Feehan presented a donation from the Senior Football panel to Martin Dwyer, Chairman of the Friends of Tipperary Football, to help cover the costs of the supporters' bus which travelled to Aughrim. The contribution was made as a token of appreciation to the supporters whose unwavering backing and travel throughout the season has meant so much to the team.
Tipperary Minor Hurlers
The Tipperary Minor Hurlers have qualified for the Electric Ireland All Ireland semi-final where they will face Cork in a hugely anticipated clash this Saturday, June 13th at 2.00pm in TUS Gaelic Grounds, Limerick.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and supporters are encouraged to secure their tickets early. A large Tipperary support can make a real difference on the day so let's get behind the lads as they bid to book their place in the All-Ireland Final. Best of luck to the players and management in what promises to be a great game.
Celtic Challenge
Hard luck to the Tipperary Blue Under 17 Celtic Challenge side who were desperately unlucky to lose to Kilkenny last Saturday in Abbottstown in the Corn Michael Hogan Division 1 Final. The final score was 2-13 to 2-12 in Kilkenny’s favour. See match report.
Hard luck to all the players, who put in a tremendous effort throughout the year and to Noel McKelvey and his management team for their dedication and commitment.
