Munster Final
Congratulations to Seamus Hennessy, Ray McLoughney and Eoin Hogan on Tipperary’s victory against Clare in the Munster u-21 final. Seamus played a captain’s part and had an outstanding game at midfield and while Ray and Eoin saw no action they both could yet play influential roles before the year is out. Nine players from the Kilruane MacDonaghs club have won Munster u-21 medals. Len Gaynor was the first in 1964, the inaugural year of the competition. Seamus Hennessy became the third MacDonaghs player to lead Tipperary to honours. In 1964 Liam Tierney captained the Premier County to victory in the Munster intermediate final and in 1975 Paddy Williams skippered the Blue and Gold in the National League triumph against Galway in Limerick.

The senior hurlers qualified to meet Nenagh Eire Óg in the quarter-final of the Seamus O Riain Cup with a victory over Cashel in Templemore. Team: Ger Corcoran, Gavin McAvinchey, Martin Walsh, Padraig Kelly, Liam Gibson, Stephen Murphy, Eoin Hogan, Kevin Quinlan, Seamus Hennessy, Mark O Leary, Alan Ryan, Ray McLoughney, Shane Quinlan, Pat Williams and Michael Costello.

U-12 Hurling
The u-12 hurlers lost their final group game to Nenagh Eire Óg on a 1-9 to 1-2 scoreline. They trailed by a point at the interval and stayed in contention until the final minutes when a strong finish by Nenagh saw them take the points.

Junior Hurling
The junior hurlers made their exit from the championship when they came out the wrong end of a 3-13 to 1-17 scoreline against Lorrha in Borrisokane. They scored enough to win, including 1-11 from play, but lapses in the defence allowed Lorrha in for three green flags, which scuttled the chances of victory. Team: Ruan Casey, David Slattery, Colin England, Freddie Williams, William Cleary, Kevin Ryan (0-2), Fergal England, Michael Reddan (0-4), Denis Cahill (0-1), James Williams (0-2), Edmond Morkan (0-1), Thomas Williams (0-6), Ronan Boyle (1-0), Declan Barrett and Brendan Ryan (0-1). Subs: Darren Killackey and Timmy Walsh.
