Feile Peil
North Tipp were well represented at the Co Final stages of Feile Peil last weekend where Inane Rvrs contested the A semis and Newport Gaels the B. Unfortunately for Inane Rvrs they met strong opposition from Moyle Rvrs and bowed out at the semi stage. Newport Gaels beat Holycross in a very tight game 3-5 to 1-5 in the semi and then went on to meet Mullinahone in the County Final. Newport Gaels proved to be much to strong for Mullinahone and beat them 5-10 to 3-5. Well done Newport Gaels who will now go on to represent Tipperary in the National Feile Finals in Connacht on 27th June weekend.
