PREMIER INTERMEDIATE HURLING
We play Ballina in the final round of the county championship this Saturday at 4pm in Kilcommon. Tickets for the game will be available to purchase at https://embed.futureticketing.ie/c/tipperary-gaa/ or via Tap n Go at the gate. After our convincing win over Burgess in the last round we are now level on points with Ballina & Moneygall and two of the three teams will progress to the quarter finals after this weekends games.
SENIOR FOOTBALL
Our senior footballers bounced back well from an opening round defeat to Moyle Rovers by getting full points from their meeting with Killenaule yesterday. A Paul Shanahan goal from a penalty in the first minute set us on our way but it was Killenaule who took a foothold from there and nearing half time were leading by a point. Late injury time points for Upperchurch though gave us a 2 point advantage at the break. Killenaule were out of the traps quickly in the second half, notching 3 points in as many minutes to take the lead again. That was to be their final score of the game though as a Conor Fahey goal in response set Upperchurch in command. A further goal from Keith Ryan three minutes later extended the lead to 6 points. Upperchurch were able to see out the game from there, adding a few extra scores to win 3-11 to 0-10. Our final group game will be against Arravale Rovers on the weekend of Sep 12th.
