Tipperary
Jake Morris
Congratulations to Michael Ryan’s Tipperary side who came from eleven points down to snatch a draw in the Gaelic Grounds yesterday in the Munster championship. Jake Morris was introduced in the second half and made a dramatic impact on proceedings. He put Waterford’s Austin Gleeson under severe pressure that led to Tipperary’s second goal while also finding Ronan Maher with a delightful pass that resulted in Tipperary’s second last point before winning the crucial free that led to Jason Forde’s equaliser deep in stoppage time. The side face Clare on Sunday next in Semple Stadium requiring a win to keep any hopes of finishing in third place alive.
We commiserate with the county minor side who were defeated by Waterford in a dramatic game yesterday. Seán Phelan had a fine game at wing-back while Cian O’ Farrell was introduced as a second-half substitute. This side face Clare on Sunday next in their final game of the round robin series in Semple Stadium.
Celtic Challenge
The North Tipperary/Mid Tipperary team play Galway McDonagh on Wednesday evening in MacDonagh Park, Nenagh at 19:30. This team features our own Liam Heffernan, Conor Hennessy and Gavin Dooley while both Shane Connolly and Michael McNamara are part of the management team. Best of luck to all concerned.
Adult Notes
Senior
Our senior side return to action on Tuesday, June 12th at 8pm, when they travel to The Ragg to take on Drom & Inch in the next round of the county league.
Junior-B
Our junior-B side played their first championship game in two years when they faced Silvermines in MacDonagh Park on Friday evening and unfortunately were beaten 3-26 to 3-7. Despite the result there were a lot of positives from the game including the performance of young Martin Donnellan at full-forward who bagged three goals for himself. Congratulations also go to Brian Duffy who was named captain for the year. This year the junior-B side are managed by Leonard Ryan and Enda O’ Sullivan.

The under-8 hurlers had a busy morning on Saturday as they had their first hurling blitz of the year in Cloughjordan. The boys had three teams and were joined by Kilruane MacDonaghs, Moneygall and Borrisokane with each team playing three games from 10am until 11am. A huge thanks as always goes to Kilruane MacDonaghs for the wonderful welcome and hospitality. The morning was a huge success. The hard work that the group are putting in practicing at home is really starting to show. Training for hurling and football continues at the usual times.
