U21 HOMECOMING
On what was another proud occasion for the club, Fr. Sheehy’s home club of captain Colin English, hosted the official Tipperary U21 homecoming event before a fine attendance last Sunday night. Club chairman, Liam O’Connor was M.C. for the night and he seamlessly guided the attendance though proceedings.

Yours truly introduced the players before Colin English addressed the gathering on what was a very special occasion for him, his family and his club. Colin was duly followed by county chairman, John Devane and U21 manager Liam Cahill and all spoke of the importance of night’s like this and the desire that the players can go forward and achieve even greater things at senior intercounty level.

To round off the night before players met family and supporters, selector John Sheedy once again led all in a rousing rendition of his now traditional signature song.

Thanks to Fr. Sheedy’s for their wonderful support and effort in hosting the homecoming and for refreshments on the night and music provided to entertain the crowd in advance of the team’s arrival.

CLUB FIXTURES
A busy weekend in county senior and intermediate hurling action gave supporters much to view and then ponder following the results. Due to the fact that there was a walkover in group 3 of the Tipperary Water county senior hurling championship and three teams finished level on points a playoff is required under rule.

The draws for the 3 way playoff are as follows; Round 1- Drom-Inch v Upperchurch-Drombane, Round 2- winner of round 1 v Thurles Sarsfields and finally Round 3 – loser of round 1 v Thurles Sarsfields. The first of these games, Drom-Inch v Upperchurch-Drombane will go-ahead next Tuesday night in Templetuohy at 8pm.

The draws for the two Tipperary Water Seamus Ó Riain Cup quarter-finals were also made and resulted as follows with Templederry Kenyons meeting Holycross-Ballycahill and Silvermines down to play JK Brackens.

The draws for the preliminary round of the Tipperary Water Intermediate hurling championship were made and these are – Moyne-Templetuohy v Thurles Sarsfields, Sean Treacy’s v Ballinahinch, Gortnahoe-Glengoole v Shannon Rovers and Ballybacon-Grange v Borrisokane.
