Tipperary GAA News Updates – March 16

By Joe Bracken

MUNSTER U21 FOOTBALL

Unfortunately the Tipperary U21 footballers were relieved of their Munster crown by Kerry in the EirGrid GAA Football Munster Quarter-Final in Austin Stack Park, Tralee last Wednesday night, March 9th with the home side edging it by the slenderest of margins, Kerry 0-11 Tipperary 1-07, with Liam Casey the Tipperary goal scorer. Commiserations to all the players and management following their efforts as their interest in this championship have now ended for another year.

COUNTY FIXTURES

There were four games played last weekend the County Senior Hurling Challenge Cup resulting in comfortable victories for the winning clubs. Two ties were all North affairs with Kiladangan having too much for Silvermines in Dolla on Saturday.  On Sunday then Burgess had plenty to spare over Ballina in Kilcolman as did Moyne-Templetuohy in their victory over Lorrha-Dorrha in Lorrha. The other game played was the only one without a goal as Drom & Inch travelling away got the better of Moneygall.

The next round of matches take place this week, for times, venues and a full round up of all fixtures and results across the Premier County please view the county website at http://tipperary.gaa.ie

SYMPATHY

It was with regret on Sunday that we have learned of the death of Aidan Farrell, Gallonreagh, Maudabawn, Cootehill, Cavan, father of Uachtarán CLG, Aogán Ó Fearghail. Tipperary County Board on its own behalf and that of our supporters extends its deepest sympathy to Aogán, his mother, brothers and extended family at this sad time following the death of Aidan.
