Our senior hurlers qualified for the North Tipperary semi-final while this week we have two North finals to look forward to
Action from the under-12 D semi-final V Toomevara
Senior
Our senior hurlers qualified for the Hibernian Inn North Tipperary senior hurling semi-final following a 2-23 to 0-9 win over neighbours Burgess in St Michael’s Park, Toomevara this evening. John Fitzgerald’s outfit were in super form throughout and had first-half goals on the board from Jake Morris and Michael Heffernan. Our next championship game is likely to take place in late August or September when the Tipperary senior hurlers and footballers’ interest ends in the 2018 championships. However, the team will still have plenty of hurling to look forward to over the summer with the county league. Well done to all concerned.
Junior-A
Bob O’ Brien on the attack against Toomevara
Our junior-A side recorded a 2-25 to 2-20 win over Toomevara in St Michael’s Park on Friday evening in the final round of the group stage of the North Tipperary junior-A league and have completed this stage of the league with a 100% success rate. The team now advance to a play-off with Toomevara with the winners going forward to the league semi-final. This play-off match is expected to take place on May 11th.

Our under-21 hurling side kick off their North Tipperary campaign on Saturday evening next at 7pm in Dolla against Toomevara.
Tipperary
Congratulations to Callan Scully and the Tipperary minor footballers who defeated Waterford in Lemybrien on Wednesday last 2-11 to 2-6. The side now face Clare in Semple Stadium on Tuesday May 8th at 7pm. Callan himself gave an assured display and could not be faulted for the two Déise goals. Well done Callan from everyone in the club.
1998 All-Ireland Junior Football Champions
It is coming up to the twentieth anniversary of the All-Ireland junior football triumph when Tipperary defeated Offaly in Portlaoise and our own Kevin Coonan became the first North Tipperary man to captain a Premier side to All-Ireland football glory. This team featured four Nenagh Éire Óg men, players Jim McAuliffe, Chris Bonar and the aforementioned Kevin Coonan while Martin Healy was a selector. The Friends of Tipperary Football have published an article celebrating this team and if you would like to read it please click here.
