Juvenile News
U11: We were invited by Toomevara to play in a lift and strike tournament last Saturday, other teams involved were Toomevara, Kildangan and Coolderry. The boys played well land enjoyed the morning. Many thanks to Toomevara for the invitation and their hospitality.
U16: After a long year, we were defeated in the County Final last Saturday by Drom & Inch on a scoreline of 1-16 to 2-11 after a thrilling game. Having played against the wind in the 1ST half, we were in a good position trailing by 0-10 to 1-5 at half time. Drom started the 2nd half strongly and went up 4 points . We managed to get back to 1pt but despite attacking strongly to the end, we could not get the score to put us ahead. Congrats to a fine Drom team on their win. Special mention must be made to Philip Hickey who broke his hand a few days previously and yet played a brilliant match through the pain barrier. Many thanks to Eamon O’Brien, John Manley, Michael Grey and Christy McLoughlin for their work with the lads. Many thanks also to Jim Kennedy and Noreen Ryan for their help throughout the year. It needs to be mentioned that official linesmen should be in place for games of this magnitude to ensure fairness for both teams and for the welfare of players, mentors and spectators.
All Ireland: Eire og Juvenile club congratulates Tipp minors on their fantastic win over Dublin last Sunday and especially to Barry Heffernan and Killian Gleeson.
Congrats: The juvenile club sends best wishes to one of our long serving team mentors Tommy Mulcahy and his wife Kathleen who celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary last Friday.

The girls have really improved over the year and we would like to thank all the trainers for putting in the effort every week with the girls.

This was a fine team display with a lot of the younger girls showing up really well. This team has already had an excellent year and now they go in search of their second County final of the year against Newport. Matches against Newport this year have been very tight so a big battle is expected and all support will be very helpful for the girls. Our u/13 team also has a County semi final coming up and we ask all the panels to keep up the good work in training for a few more weeks,

We are delighted to have received a cheque from the North Tipperary Sports Partnership for the work the Club is doing and also due to the amount of girls and Teams that the Club now has.
