ALL-STAR AWARDS

This Friday night, November 4th, the GAA/GPA All-Star Awards for 2016 will be handed out at a ceremony in the Convention Centre with Tipperary fully represented in the hurling category and also well in the mix in the football equivalent. We send best wishes to all our players who did both themselves and the county proud with their achievements this year.
