LITTLE FLOWER NS BALLYTARSNA FUNDRAISER
Thanks to all those who supported the challenge game between Tipperary senior hurlers & Mary Immaculate College in Boherlahan last Sunday. After the match both teams enjoyed a nice meal at Little Flower NS Ballytarsna. The school community and Tipperary hurlers mixed freely after the game with many of the young pupils enjoying the opportunity to take photos with some of their idols. All proceeds from the game went to Little Flower NS, Ballytarsna.

In the pre-season championship build-up children could be given the chance to tell about their own training regiments and tips for the coming championship. A Reporter of the Week will be chosen and their work included in the weekly report. Please ensure all reports are a single paragraph in Verdana 10 type. All submissions should be proof-read by the teacher before submission.
