We face Cashel King Cormacs today(Saturday) in the county semi final. Throw in is at 3pm in Semple Stadium with the senior county semi between Moycarkey & Toomevara following our game. This is a vitally important game for us to get one step away from regaining our senior status next year so we are hoping for a good local support to urge the team on. Best of luck to players & management. Tickets can be bought in advance at embed.futureticketing.ie/c/tipperary-gaa/ or via Tap n Go at the grounds.

Another crucial game for us this weekend is the intermediate relegation final this Sunday where we face Ballybacon-Grange in Bansha at 1pm. Again we hope to get a good following as the team look to compete at intermediate grade for a 3rd year in 2025. Tickets can be bought in advance at embed.futureticketing.ie/c/tipperary-gaa/ or via Tap n Go at the grounds.
