Defibrillator

We are delighted to have been presented with this life saving device by our local chemist the Mari-Mina chain. We are extremely grateful for this generous gift and wish the Mari-Mina chain every success in their new premises.
Any persons wishing to be trained in its use should give their name to Oliver Vaughan immediately. Following the training course both the defibrillator and the trained personnel will be available to the public.

Tipperary talisman Eoin Kelly says the Premier County’s renaissance this season is down to an increased work ethic under new manager Liam Sheedy.

Last year, under former manager Michael ‘Babs’ Keating, the accusation was levelled at Tippearary that they were not fit enough after late capitulations saw them twice throw away big leads against Limerick in the Munster Championship.

Kelly was alleged to have endured a difficult relationship with Keating, who suggested at one point last year that the prolific free-taker was in poor condition during the championship.

However, the Mullinahone clubman has turned the tables on his former boss, suggesting that Tipperary had failed to meet the standards set by Cork and Kilkenny in terms of fitness and physicality.

"That's the nature of the team this year,” Kelly said. “It was the first couple of words that were used when the management came in. He [Liam Sheedy] said he wanted number one to number 30 working together in training and carrying that onto the field.

A week they say is a long time in politics. It can be a long time in football as well. On Saturday night we won the county under 21B football championship. Having celebrated the historic win, we were unable to field a team in the senior team failing to turn out should not be placed on an under 21 team and its management.

By Sunday we had put a senior football team together but we went down to Commercials 0-20 to 1-8. A number of our players were playing their second game in 24 hours as they had played a senior hurling challenge game against Carrick Shock on Saturday. Our senior football team that lined out against Clonmel was Thomas Collins, Noel O Shea, A.J Cronin, Joseph O Meara, Kyran Vaughan, Paul Curran, Philip O Shea, Kevin Walzer, Edwin O Meara, Kevin Bolger, Niall O Brien, Brian O Meara, Joey Maher.

The previous Friday night our minor footballers went down to Ballingarry. So a week that started well went downhill fast.
