The minor footballers get their campaign off to a great start, yet another gift for the historians while Jake bags 1-3 for Tipperary. All this and more in this week’s news on the Blues

Minor-B Football

Our minor-B footballers opened their championship campaign with a 3-8 to 0-5 win over Templederry/Ballinahinch in Templederry on Sunday morning last. The game was supposed to take place in MacDonagh Park but due to the weather it was switched to Templederry.

Tipperary

The Tipperary Westmeath game at the weekend was unfortunately moved from MacDonagh Park to Semple Stadium in Thurles due to the recent rains but that didn’t dampen the spirits of both Jake Morris and Barry Heffernan who gave commanding displays against Westmeath with Jake bagging a personal tally of 1-3. Well done to all involved.

1997 Opening of the New Stand

In 1997 the club celebrated the opening of our new stand in MacDonagh Park by hosting the Church & General Assurance National Hurling League encounter between Tipperary and Offaly. President elect at the time, Joe McDonagh, performed the official opening while the stand was blessed by Fr. Brendan Kyne. Offaly prevailed on the day winning 2-14 to 1-15 while Nenagh’s only representative on the Tipperary team was Michael Cleary who was forced off during the first half after sustaining a serious injury. 

We have uploaded a copy of the official match programme from the day and it will be permanent available for download on the who we are section of the website. Alternatively you can download the programme here:
