All-Ireland Final
Well done to all the Tipperary players, management and backroom team on the tremendous victory over Wexford.
Applications for All-Ireland final tickets must be with Carmel Daly 0872409854 by 9.00pm on Wednesday, 7th August. No late applications will be entertained. As demand will be way in excess of supply the club will not be able to facilitate all requests. Supporters are urged to hunt down tickets from every other possible source.
Householders are asked to fly the Tipperary colours throughout the parish as the county prepares for the All-Ireland senior final and the U20 semi-final. In 2016 the parish was a sea of blue and gold and anticipate a similar response on this occasion.
