Club Matches this weekend for any of ye that are interested (Divisional Boards have a lot to answer for, playing club matches the same day/weekend Tipp are playing League!!!):

Down South
SATURDAY APRIL 17TH

SENIOR HURLING Rd 1
Note change of time - BALLINGARRY V CARRICK DAVINS IN KILSHEELAN @ 6.00PM

Davin's first Senior match in a decade. Rumour's going around that Donal Shelly has indeed signed back to Ballingary. This will be an extremely close game, and the outcome I believe will depend on how well Ballingary cope with the speed of the Davins forward line. Davin's have a very small panel this year so could struggle later on in the year if a few injuries are picked up along the way. If I had to choose, I'd predict Davins to win by the minimum. Ballingary seem to be in a period of transition this year.

SUNDAY APRIL 18TH

SENIOR HURLING
SUNDAY APRIL 18TH CARRICK SWANS V BALLYBACON-GRANGE IN MONROE @ 6.45PM (I'm not 100% certain this is in Monroe - could very well be Fethard).

I'd go with Swans here. They drew with Killenaule last week while Ballybacon suffered a heavy enough defeat at the hands of Mullinahone. However, Ballybacon can never be underestimated as they always have at least one good result per year. They've made the South Semi's in both of last 2 years.

West Tipp All SUNDAY APRIL 18TH

Tipperary Co-Op Super Valu West SHC.
Note change of time and venue - In Lattin @ 2.00, Cashel v Galtee /Treacys

The Combo drew last weekend when I was expecting them to beat Golden. I've seen Cashel play this year in a challenge game, and although probably not the most skillful team in the county, they do have a lot of heart. They also won their 1st match at this level in quite a few years last week so for that reason, I'd predict them to continue that run and make it 2 wins for the year (which will probably be their last this year).

Note change of time and venue - In Dundrum @ 5.30, Golden/Kilfeacle v Cappawhite.
Cappa here for me. Golden are struggling this year, not helped by the fact that Jim Bob seems to be carrying an injury (or at least was in the last game anyway).



In Dundrum @7.00, Clonoulty/Rossmore v Éire Óg.Ref: P.Russell.

I don't know if Hammersly is going to be playing or not due to him been in Tullamore with the Tipp panel. If he is, I'd go for clonoulty, who had a poor result last week drawing with Kickhams (who I mentioned before are very unpredictable, either great or pure ****e) so will want to get back to winning ways. Altho, they may have their eyes on coming good later on in the year as Dan Breen is surely their ultimate aim this year, and not the West Cup as they now have done 3 or 4 in a row.

________________________________________________________________

I don't think there is any games in the Mid or the North this weekend (but I'm open to correction on that)

Results were Swans 1-14 Ballybacon 9 points
Swans did well to win after been reduced to 14 men after 5 minutes.

Davins V Ballingary was abandoned after 15 minutes of the 2nd half. Davins had 2 players sent off, 1 straight red, 1 was 2 yellows. Ballingary will get the points I reckon, Davins will know if their faith Thursday night I'd say at Couth Board meeting.

Ref got assaulted, I won't make any further comment on the subject but it's probably in the national press today as it was mentioned on the Sunday Game last night. I'd like to wish a speedy recovery to Willie Barrett.

Here's the story in the national media: http://www.independent.ie/sport/hurling/probe-after-tipp-ref-attacked-with-hurl-2142980.html --> Why has Jackie Cahill brought the Swan club into it? Our club had nothing to do with what happened Saturday night, and the real circumstances of that match last October are not known by him, or a lot of people in the county/country. Typical ****e journalism out of him. (In saying that I'm not condoning what happened back then either)


In the west Cappa beat Golden 1-10 to 10 points.

Clonoulty/Rossmore 1-18 Éire Óg 0-8.

Cashel v Combo match called off due to a bereavement in Cahsel I think.

I got 3 out of 4, not bad at all :-)

last game before the championship. that match wouldnt give a fella any great confidence.

Considering the team we fielded I'm not overly concerned. There a still a few question marks over whether or not we're any better then last year though. We'll need to be as Galway and Cork have certainly improved.

Cant wait for the championship this year as there are now realistically 3 teams that can lose an All Ireland to Kilkenny !

The bench is worrying Tom no doubt about that but i think we'll be ok come championship. More about inexperience then bad hurlers. We have Festy back now. Eoin, Larry, The Mahers; Shane and Brendan, and Fanning will be back the next day.

On a plus side Mikey Heffernan could be our find of the year. he was a ball of class yesterday.Darragh Egan had a mixed game. Class in patches but lacklustre in others.

I have a feeling this will be the most competitive All-Ireland in years - Kilkenny are still ahead, but Tipp, Galway, Cork and Waterford are only just behind imo.

What type of fcuking moran does that, was he on the Davins bench/sideline, hes the only one with a hurley and seems to be wearing a tracksuit and bottom. What ever about personal accounts he's really going to get nailed over this video.

Came from behind. Proper hard man:rolleyes: A cowardly piece of pond life to do that.
I'm not going to go down that route of generalising Carrick for the incident like Jackie Cahill did because there is a lot of good decent people from the town that don't deserve to be tarred with the same brush as that low life!

tippspur

He wasn't a Davin club member, just a (so called)supporter, it was a disgraceful and cowardly thing to do I hope he gets nailed for it.

Reginald P. DuM

I would be fairly confident that the Gardai will prosecute on the basis of the witness statements and the referees report. This video will hardly be used! Of course a prosecution depends on Willie B pressing charges. If he decides not to persue it this guy will get off. I read it was alcohol related whether thats true now I don't know. Nasty thing to see at any time of the day never mind at a hurling match. Lets just hope this dope is made an example of.

i think we need something like this refereeing games

Gerard.C

What a cheeky ****. Hope justice is served here

PhatPiggins

Ha ha, thats brilliant and you just know the riot police battoned the living day lights out of him as well.

Tipp minors defeated last night by 3 points despite scoring 4-22. Must have a woeful backline.
one fwd for them alone, hartnett scored 1-14 on us.

Tipp had an u16 team some years back that were streets ahead of the rest and alot of this squad were the core of the team. last year i felt they were unlucky in semi but 2 defeats in a week is not good enough.

Munster MHC: Kelly's late winner downs Tipp
06 May 2010

Clare 0-17
Tipperary 1-13

Tony Kelly's last-gasp point handed Clare a dramatic victory over Tipperary in last night's Munster MHC quarter-final at Cusack Park, Ennis.

Reduced to 14 men for the final 10 minutes after wing back Enda Boyce was sent off on a second yellow card, the Banner had to withstand a late Tipp onslaught before snatching the win which earns them a semi-final date with Limerick on June 24.

Full forward Niall Arthur was once again Clare's scorer-in-chief, finishing with a personal haul of 0-7, 0-4 from frees. Four of those points came in the first half as Clare took a slender 0-7 to 0-6 lead into the interval.

Tipperary edged in front through Aidan McCormack seven minutes after the restart, but over the next 15 minutes, Clare began to dominate and had surged into a 0-16 to 0-11 lead by the 54th minute thanks to scores from Podge Collins and Arthur.

However, following Boyce's dismissal, Tipp came roaring back and a brilliant Liam McGrath goal levelled the match in the 59th minute. But a snap point from Kelly helped Clare progress to the last four.

Clare - R Taaffe; P Flanagan, N Purcell, S Morey; E Boyce (0-1), K Lynch, S O'Halloran; T Kelly (0-2), C Galvin; A Cunningham, P Collins (0-4), J Shanahan (0-1); C O'Connell, N Arthur (0-7, 4f), D O'Halloran (0-2). Subs - H Vaughan for Purcell, A Mulready for O'Connell.

Tipperary - D Reddan; C Barrett, A Ryan, J O'Dwyer; L Treacy, B Stapleton, J Meagher; J Forde (0-1), D Flynn (0-1); D Butler (0-1), N O'Meara, L McGrath (1-3); M O'Brien (0-2), A McCormack (0-2), C Horan (0-1). Subs - T Heffernan (0-1) for Forde, J Cahill (0-1) for Butler, D McCormack for Horan, P Dalton for Heffernan.

Tipp call-ups for O'Meara and Fanning Hoganstand.com
Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy
07 May 2010

Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy has added attackers Brian O'Meara from Kilruane McDonaghs and Moneygall's Paddy Fanning to his squad ahead of the Munster SHC showdown with Cork on May 30.

Dual star O'Meara caught the eye during Waterford IT's run to this year's Fitzgibbon Cup final, while he also featured for the Tipp under 21 footballers in their recent historic Munster championship success. Fanning has been called up on the back of some impressive performances for Moneygall in the North Tipp SHC.

Meanwhile, Tipperary football captain Robbie Costigan is expected to recover from a leg injury in time for Sunday week's Munster SFC opener against Kerry. Assuming he is passed fit, manager John Evans will have a full strength squad to pick from for the meeting with the All-Ireland champions.

Apparently Buggy O' Meara was told after the Fitz that he was been drafted in when the u21 footballers exited the championship. Surprising that he's been called in as he didn't start with WIT until the final (or could have been Semi). Best of luck to him though. He only joind Kilruane a couple of years back. He used to hurl with Knockshegowna (spelling??)

Does anyone know anything about this Paddy Fanning? What position does he hurl in? What age is he? I wouldn't hear too much on North Tipp hurling, and would very rarely attend any of Moneygall's matches as they wouldn't usually get to the latter stages of the championship and would rarely play against my own club (think I've only seen them play 3 times in last 10 odd years).

North Tipp football has made serious strides since John Evans has taken charge. Fair play to him, or whoever's idea it was to make a Senior football team in the North. It has really helped the overall development of the game up there.

Tipp hammer Dublin in challenge

I have to be honest what the **** will tipp learn from this at all? i suppose the one good thing is we had a strong side out judging by the scorers

From Hoganstand.com
SH challenge: Kelly stars as Tipp hammer Dublin
11 May 2010

Eoin Kelly put his recent hamstring problems behind him when he blasted 2-6 as Tipperary trounced Dublin by 25 points in a senior hurling challenge at Nenagh last night.

Tipperary 5-25
Dublin 0-15

The victory was revenge of sorts for Tipp, who suffered a surprise loss to Anthony Daly's side in the recent NHL campaign. Current Young Hurler of the Year Noel McGrath also hit a brace of goals, while newcomer Brian O'Meara helped himself to 1-2.

With Kelly to the fore, Tipp were already out of sight at half-time when they led by 3-15 to 0-8. Things got worse for the visitors after the restart when McGrath booted home a fourth goal.
Seamus Callanan scored 0-4 from centre forward, while substitute Brendan Maher weighed in with 0-3 as 10 different Tipp players got on the scoresheet.

Johnny McCaffrey top-scored for Dublin with 0-4, but they had precious little to cheer about and on this evidence will struggle to get past Laois or Carlow in their Leinster SHC opener.

tippspur

I have to be honest what the **** will tipp learn from this at all?

Shooting practice !;)

Tipperary u21s play Kilkenny u21s in Cloneen, co tipperary (between mullinahone and fethard) on Sunday night as part of the St Patricks club officially opening their new club house. id imagine this is the annual u21 fixture which normally takes place in Gortnahoe, just a change of venue.

EDIT: think the throw in is at 7.30 ill be sure to check and post back

looder

The teams that lined out last night were as follows:
Tipp: Cummins, Stapleton, Curran, Cahill, Fanning, O'Mahony, Paudie Maher, Benny Dunne, Shane McGrath, Kerwick, Callanan, Hennessy, Kelly, Buggy O'Meara, Noel McGrath

Dublin: Maguire, Corcoran, Brady, Gough, Hiney, Fallon, Boland, McCaffrey, O'Brien, P.Kelly, Rushe, Durkin, Carton, Lambert, McCrabbe

looder

Thanks for the fixture, It'd be nice if it's on a little earlier, maybe 3-30 or 4 as Davins are playing Ballingary in Fethard at 1pm. It's make a nice day of hurling.

Am I read somewhere the reason why the Gortnahoe tournament didn't take place, not sure what the answer was though.

Has anyone seen St. Pat's new dressing rooms? Are they big? The last ones were pretty bad it has to be said.

EDIT: Here's the inter-county fixtures this weekend - from Tipp GAA:

May 16th @ 2:00pm - vs. Kerry (Semple Stadium Thurles) - 2010 Munster Junior Football Championship Quarter-Final
May 16th @ 7:15pm - vs. Kilkenny (St. Patricks Cloneen) - 2010 Under 21 Hurling Challenge

Where will they start Padraig Maher? Full back or on the wing? Brendan Maher should be midfield IMO

Brendan Maher absolutely has to be midfield...I know he only came on at half time at midfield for Benny Dunne but he'll be starting come the 30th...plus Benny Dunne is out with a broken bone in his wrist now!

Padraig Maher will surely be full marking Aisake as he has absolutly no hurling whatsoever...would nearly be confident with "looder" marking him!

The Davins beat Ballingarrry in the South.

Davins 3-9 Ballingarry 0-11

I went up for a look at this as the result would have a bearing on my own club. We now need to win at least one of the next two games to make sure that we go through. Scrappy game, very stop start with some very hard hits. Liam Cahill should have got the line for a very sneaky and dirty block down near the end on Johnny Cody, who looked to have a broken wrist coming off. Cahill was only booked. Davins got a soft goal, although the goalmouth in Fethard certainly didn't help Logue. Davins deserved to win it but can thank their Keeper/fullback line for making a number of great last ditch saves/interceptions.

I put together a table for the South Tipp results too. It's located here: http://southshc.leaguerepublic.com/ I'm too lazy to do one up for the other divisions



Up North

Friday night: Kilruane 1-17 Moneygall 0-19

Match report thanks to Noddy on Premierview:
Brilliant game of hurling. both Paddy Fanning and Buggy O Meara were very impressive, wouldnt be suprised to see them play against Cork. Moneygall were very unlucky not to get anything out of the game, Niall O Meara scored a point for Kilruane near the end which looked to be wide while Moneygall also missed a few scorable chances in the 2nd half, apart from Fanning and Buggy, Ger Kirwan, PaJo Troy and Tommy Deveroux were good for Moneygall, Mikey Costelloe and Niall O Meara were impressive for Kilruane

Good to see the two Tipp panelists doing well so close to the Cork team.



No other Senior games on in Tipp due to the Tipp V Kerry match I think.


Munster JFC Result - Kerry 1-13 Tipp 0-9 - Tipp fielded an u23 development team for this game.

Good man looder. Great to see the Davins respond to idiotic calls for a championship ban, by letting their hurling do the talking. Fethard tho is a farcical pitch if you could even call it that.

Good win for the Davins,It will make the south Championship more Interesting.

tipp u21 lost the challenge by a point anyway. €10 admission fee was disgusting :mad:
no program even supplied just a glossy magazine name dropping who ever involved in club board, south boards etc and on about the new so called state of the art dressing rooms and we also had a field to park in...happy days :rolleyes:

It'll make it more interesting alright with the Carrick Derby now looking like a do or die game.

For anyone interested, Johnny Cody had an operation this morning to get a plate inserted into his wrist. It's looking like his year is over which is a major pity as he's an excellent hurler and a genuine lad on top of it. Cahill should be ashamed of himself but to be honest, I'm not one bit surprised by his actions.

I don't mind Fethard too much to be honest. The goal-mouths are terrible but the surface itself isn't the worst. I'd rate it above the surface in the Clonmel sportsfield at the moment anyway, although that's still recovering from the work carried out there over the past 18 months.

€10 for a challenge match is shocking, especially an u21 challenge match also.

to be honest there was no teamsheet provided so i hadnt a clue who done what. Bubbles scored 1-4 i think. no6 a thurles sars lad was impressive. maher i think his name is. Logue was in goal in 1st half and Moroney who is a local lad from the Drangan/Cloneen area the 2nd. the latter made a cracking save.

great game it has to be said but what logic the st pats heads used is beyond me in charging that. the dressing rooms are impressive but its not the emirates were talking about. where they going with 10 euro

EDIT: Discussion here on u21 challenge

Denis Byrne was happy with the goal mouths after his debut brace for mullinahone some years back. i remember the ball took a wicked hop after a totally speculative shot and the Killenaule gk was completely caught.

10 euro for an U/21 challenge is a bit steep ok,esp with no program.

sonic boom

anybody hear the team and scorers from the senior challenge against laois? i heard corbett got a hattrick.
