Our junior-A hurlers are beaten in the league final, details of the John Kissane Sevens are revealed while Grace O’Brien scores two points in the Munster final. All this and more in this week’s news on the Blues
Junior-A
Hard luck to our junior-A hurlers who were beaten by Toomevara in the North Tipperary league final on Sunday evening in Kilcolman. Nenagh led 0-12 to 0-9 but Toomevara, with the aid of a strong breeze finished strongly to win by 0-22 to 1-15. The Éire Óg goal was scored by Shane Maher. Best wishes to Toomevara’s Colm Canning who picked up an injury during the game.
John Kissane Football Sevens
John Kissane
The Tipperary Football Committee, in conjunction with Nenagh Éire Óg and Permanent TSB, Nenagh, are proud to announce the inaugural John Kissane Sevens, a Gaelic football tournament to be held in MacDonagh Park Nenagh on June 3rd, Bank Holiday Monday.
This event comprises of two tournaments, a juvenile competition as well as a seven-a-side adult contest featuring several clubs from across North Tipperary and is an integral part of the recently published strategic plan for Tipperary football which can be viewed on the Friends of Tipperary Football website.
The Nenagh adult team are going to be managed by both Eddie Tucker and Leonard Ryan.
The juvenile tournament is expected to commence at 2pm while the adult competition will throw in at 5pm. There are specially commissioned medals for both events while the winners of the adult competition will receive O’Neill’s designed half-zips.
Food on the day will be provided by Joe Mulqueen of Andy’s Bar, Nenagh.
The event is open to the public and we look forward to seeing huge numbers turn out and join us in remembering a man who did so much to promote Gaelic football.

Grace O’Brien in action in the Munster final
Commiserations to Grace O’Brien and the Tipperary senior camogie side who were unfortunately defeated by Cork in the Munster final on Saturday in Leahy Park, Cashel. Grace was introduced as a second half substitute and made a big impact scoring two points but it wasn’t enough to save Tipperary.
Next weekend the senior hurlers travel to Cusack Park, Ennis to play Clare in the next round of the Munster championship and we send Jake Morris, Barry Heffernan and all involved our best wishes.
