CAMOGIE NEWS

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.
