Condolences: It was with great regret that the Board learned last Friday morning of the passing of Eddie Connolly from the Loughmore Castleiney club following his courageous battle with brain cancer. The Loughmore-Castleiney club man Connolly represented his club and county at all grades of hurling and football, and captained Tipperary to the All-Ireland intermediate hurling title in 2012. The Board would like to extend their sympathies to the Connolly family and also the Loughmore Castleiney club on their loss. Ar Dheis Dé Go Raibh A Anam
