Tipperary: Hard luck to Noel Hogan, Ronan O’Meara, Kevin & Patrick Maher and the Tipperary Intermediate team that lost the Munster Final last week. However, it was great to see four players from the club on the field at the one time during the game.

Well done also to the Tipp minors on reaching the All Ireland semi-final.
