Championship Draw: The Nenagh Éire Óg senior hurlers will face Clonoulty-Rossmore, Roscrea and the Templederry Kenyons during the group stage of the 2014 county championship. The draw took place on Monday evening. The draws were also made for the County Senior Hurling Challenge Cup on Monday evening which will see the Blues take on Burgess in the opening round of the competition. It is understood that the opening round of the County Senior Hurling Challenge Cup will take place on the first weekend of March while the first round in the County Senior Hurling Championship will take place on the week-ending April 13th.

Medal Presentation: Our thanks go out to everyone who worked hard to ensure that Saturday night’s medal presentation and dinner dance at the Abbey Court Hotel proved to be such a great success. Our thanks, especially, go out to the organising committee: Josephine Mackey, Valerie O’Brien, Catherine Grey, Geraldine Quinn, Noreen Coffey & Paul Henry.

North Championship: The structures of the north championships have been finalised for the coming season. The senior championship, which features fourteen teams, will be run on a knock-out plus loser’s group format. Seven games will be played in the first round with the winners of those games progressing into round two where they will face the losers of the opening round. If you win both games you progress to the quarter-finals while if you lose both games you will be eliminated from the competition. Teams with one win from the opening two rounds will play off for their chance to play in the last eight. Eleven teams will take part in the north Tipperary junior hurling championship – two groups of six, group winners into the semi-finals with the second and third-placed teams progressing to the quarter-finals. The north finalists will progress to the county quarter-finals. Ten teams will participate in the junior B hurling championship – two groups of five with the group winners progressing to the semi-finals and the second and third-placed teams progressing to the quarter-finals. Six teams will participate in the under-21A hurling championship which will be run on a knock-out and loser’s group format. Seven teams will participate alongside Éire Óg in the minor A hurling championship – one group with the top four progressing to the semi-finals.
