Tipperary
In the Littlewoods Senior League, Galway played Tipperary in Ballinasloe and Nenagh Éire Ógs Grace O’Brien started in midfield. A pointed free in the 8th minute of injury time gave Galway a 1 point victory over Tipperary. The final score was 0-13 to 1-11. A huge talking point was the fact the Tipperary were reduced to 14 players with a controversial red card on the 15 minute of the game and therefore played 55 of the 70 minutes with a player down. Tipperary most likely will finish second in the group.
Grace in action against Galway last weekend

Bridie was a great support to Ger in his many roles with the club over the years and she herself was the club’s Tipperary Draw coordinator for many years. We extend our sympathies to Bridie’s daughters Deirdre, Marion & Claire, sons Gerry and Brendan and extended family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

Condolences
It was with great sadness that we learned of the sudden passing of Noelie Tomlinson Junior early last week. Noelie played both hurling and football for many years in all grades with the club, winning many titles along the way. Among his achievements at juvenile level was an U14 North Féile hurling medal in 1993 and U16A North football titles in 1994 and 1995.
At adult level Noelie won a North Junior A league medal in 1998, North Junior A championship medal in 1999 and North Junior C medal in 2010 which was his last success with the club. He also played hurling and football with his school, Nenagh Vocational School, where he captained them to a Senior Football title in 1997. We extend our sympathies to Noelie’s parents Noel and Marian, brother Robbie, sister Tricia, his children Freyah and Noah and his extended family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
2010 Junior C North Champions – this was Noelie’s last championship success with the Club.
Harty Cup
MacDonagh Park was the venue for the Harty Cup semi final last Saturday between Ard Scoil Ris and Thurles CBS. It was the first day crowds were allowed into games again following the lifting of restrictions and it was great to see a big crowd present. Thanks to the Field team who had MacDonagh Park in great shape and thanks also to the stewards and everyone who helped out on the day.
A splendid looking MacDonagh Park for last Saturday’s Harty Cup game.
Recent work completed around the hurling wall. Great to see the crowds back in MacDonagh Park – and the lotto sellers busy!!
