Munster Senior Hurling Championship

Our senior hurlers played Cork last Sunday in FBD Semple Stadium in their final group game of this year’s Munster championship and unfortunately it was the visitors who emerged victorious on the day, therefore ending our involvement in this year’s championship. While it is disappointing to be out of the championship at this point we must all acknowledge the hard work and commitment of players and management alike. There was no one more disappointed after last Sundays game than the players and team management and what they now need from everyone is support and encouragement rather than criticism. WE thank all involved with our senior hurling team and we look forward to what the future brings for our county at this level.


Tailteann Cup

Netwatch Cullen Park will be the venue this Sunday when our senior footballers will take on Carlow in their opening game of the inaugural Tailteann Cup. Since their exit from the Munster championship, the players have regrouped and are now fully focused on this game which once again will be a stiff test for the team but one I am sure they will be well able for. Tickets for this game are now available to purchase via the GAA website.

Munster Minor Football Championship

Commiserations to our Minor footballers who were defeated by Cork in the Munster semi final last Thursday evening in FBD Semple Stadium. While the result was not what we would have hoped for, The players have given us all a lot to be proud of and indeed a lot to be positive about going forward. Thanks to all the players who were involved with this year’s panel you have all done your county and clubs proud both on and off the field. Thanks also to team manager John McNamara and his management team who have all put in an unbelievable effort this year and have played a huge part in growing and developing this group of players.

Tipperary Ladies Football

All-Ireland U14 LGFA Gold Final

Kildare 2-9
Tipperary 0-7

Two first half goals proved crucial as Kildare were crowned All-Ireland U14 Gold champions in front of a packed Crettyard.
Kildare led throughout and despite huge pressure from Tipperary, the Lilywhites prevailed.
Tipperary got off to a good start and had two points on the scoreboard courtesy of Abbie Horgan. While Kildare took time to settle, Keelin Dermody opened their scoring from a free before Amy Jones levelled matters two minutes later.
Kildare were moving the ball well with surging runs from wing forwards Katie Ray and Aoibheann Birchall troubling the Tipperary defence. The game’s opening goal came on 11 minutes courtesy of Keelin Dermody, who hit low and hard into the bottom corner of the Tipperary net.
Aoibheann Birchall pushed Kildare into a four-point lead a minute later. Tipperary’s Abbie Horgan and Grace Hogan threatened the Kildare defence and while Hogan added a free, Kildare did well keeping out the Tipperary attack.
In a quickfire two-minute spell, Birchall added 1-1 to stretch Kildare’s lead further before a third Horgan point brought Tipperary back into the contest. Kildare finished the half strongly with Amy Jones pointing her second free and Keelin Dermody firing over. Kildare led 2-6 to 0-4 at the break.
The second half was a much cagier affair with both defences on top. A brace of frees off the ground from Grace Hogan brought Tipperary back to within six points and they could have been even closer but for a terrific save from Kildare goalkeeper Aibhe McKeon.
Kildare kicked three second half points, each through the boot of substitute Aoibhe Kelly, the second of which summed up Kildare’s scoring threat, as Kelly received the ball, turned her marker and scored straight over the black spot.
Tipperary’s Tara Bourke was resolute in defence and while they were rewarded with a penalty late on, which was blasted over the bar by Louise McGrath, it was to be Kildare’s day with Aoibhe Kelly hitting her third point to secure Kildare’s first U14 national title since 2016.

Scorers – Kildare: A Birchall 1-2, K Dermody 1-2, A Kelly 0-3, A Jones 0-2 (2f).

Tipperary: A Horgan 0-3, G Hogan 0-3 (3f), L McGrath 0-1 (pen).

KILDARE: A McKeon, K McNulty, A O’Riain, M Fruergaard, C Mahon, J McNulty, M McCarthy, A Treacy, C Mallon, K Ray, I Casey, A Birchall, A Mahon, K Dermody, A Jones.

Subs: E Leavy for McKeon, S Boyse for C Mahon, A Kelly for A Mahon, M Magee for Mallon, E Conlan for Casey, A Keegan for Jones, R Yates for Dermody, S Niland for McNulty.
