Congratulations Conor and Seán

The club wishes to congratulate Conor Hennessy and Seán Phelan who both made the county under-20 hurling championship panel for 2020. Tipperary will play Clare in the quarter-final on 19th October in Semple Stadium at 7:30pm. This game will be live on TG4. Best of luck to all concerned. The winners of that game will play Waterford.

Notice Regarding Training

Following this week’s government Covid 19 announcement regarding stricter guidelines it was incumbent on the Club Senior, Juvenile and Camogie Officers to discuss our next steps to ensure all our members’ safety.

Our unanimous decision is that all junior or minor squad training in any format is to be put on hold and we will review future operations on a weekly basis.

Juvenile training can continue but on the strict condition that all GAA and government guidelines are rigidly adhered to.

Any breach by any squad will result in a total training lockdown for all squads.

While we recognise this will have an impact on all individuals, the health and safety on the wider front is our main priority. We deem the risk to continue in our present format is far too great.

By following these guidelines it will help us protect ourselves from the very serious impact of the COVID-19 virus.

Thanking you all in anticipation of your full cooperation.
John Tooher
Chairman.

Juvenile News

Our Under eight boys close out their 2020 season this week. On Saturday morning last saw the Under eight boys take to the training field for the last time this season.

Sincere thank you to Mike Corrigan, Cathal Farrell and all the brilliant coaches who trained the boys all season. We can all agree that the boys have come on in leaps and bounds during this season and credit must go to the coaching group who facilitated the boys progress. We found ourselves in unusual and challenging circumstances this season but the most was made of it through the great teamwork within the management group who look after these boys.

Under ten boys took a break from training this week in light of the changing situation. We plan to continue to train on Saturday mornings and will monitor this weekly in light of any forthcoming changes to GAA guidelines. Please keep encouraging the boys to pick up the hurley at home and practice daily. 

Under-16

Under sixteen football training continues each week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. This will be monitored in light of any changes to GAA guidelines.  

Fixtures

All competitive games are suspended currently in light of the recent guidelines.
