If a kind soul presents an opportunity, I'll take it.

Keep an eye on the fixtures. A lot of rain.

Due to waterlogging in FBD Semple Stadium, the senior hurling game, Kiladangan v Holycross/Ballycahill due to be played tonight is off and has been rescheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, at 5.15pm and forms the second part of a double header with Loughmore/Castleiney v Roscrea.

There's a weekend pass available now for all games across all levels too. 30 something euros. That said, there could be a flood of cancelations.

The Lorrha v Clonakenny Premier Intermediate Hurling quarter final due to have been played this Saturday has been postponed due to a bereavement in Clonakenny. Revised fixture to be confirmed.

The County Intermediate Hurling Relegation game between Kiladangan v Shannon Rovers fixed for Cloughjordan on Saturday has been rescheduled for Sunday at 1.00pm in Cloughjordan

The majority of fields in tipp have better soakage than the stadium. The town end at the new stand side often has water sitting when other fields are perfect, need to get the forks out

Mantis Toboggan · 15-09-2023 2:14pm

Should have been 2 double headers anyway.

RIP to Susan Whelehan, wife of Pad-Joe Whelehan. Condolences to Pad Joe, Brian, Simon, and Barry. No strangers to Tipp. Pad Joe won county titles as manager with at least two Tipp clubs. 2 with Toome. And Nenagh's only one. His successes with Birr is known everywhere.

Wonder what the work changes are for Paidi Maher? He's stationed in Limerick with the guards last i heard.

callaway92 · 27-09-2023 9:34pm

Surprised they're happy to stick with Cummins for U20. I think his teams have been poorly managed. Not sure of the actual quality of player available though.

27-09-2023 10:20pm

Hard to know if its management or lack of quality. But some of the hurling was hard to watch. Emphasis seems to be tippy tappy instead of long ball and individuals winning the hard ball . Probably easier said than done

Cafe in Thurles too. Newly married. He took on too much too soon and straight away. But when he took on the Tipp selector position, he couldn't have know he'd get the Thurles job too. That's a lot in your first year out of playing.

The core of the group didn't win anything at minor. A lot of the bunch didn't have confidence. But I was impressed with what Cummins had them doing in his first year. So, last year was disappointing.

New coach in now, and Cummins will have access to some very good players. I know the bunch available fairly well, so I'll know if they've their homework done when they pick the squad. Interestingly, the most improved players, from what I've seen at club level, didn't get starts on the successful minor team in 2022.

Fair point and I suppose until 18 months ago the plan was to be still playing for Thurles rather than being the manager.

evolvingtipperary101 · 29-09-2023 8:00pm

Noel McGrath, captain this year. Might be going into his 15th season next year and just got nominated for an all-star. Still playing in between midfield and half forward. Still covering the field and directing play. Even during the Bonnar year, he was good. Carrying an injury all year with Loughmore. Some soldier.

evolvingtipperary101 · 29-09-2023 8:56pm

Clonakilty boss Martin O’Brien and Fermoy boss Martin Crummey are being linked to the Tipp football job.

Last Saturday, the extended Stakelum family and friends descended on Ballycahill Hall to celebrate the launch of Noel Dundon’s “Legend of the Ash” biography about their great patriarch Pat.

Captain of Tipperary’s 1949 All-Ireland winning team, Pat’s nephew Richard famously emulated him in lifting the provincial title in 1987. Two years later and another nephew Bobby Ryan was first up the Hogan Stand steps to end the county’s 18-year wait for the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

Launching the book and underlining the clan’s hurling pedigree was the family’s most honoured captain, Pat’s grand-nephew and Limerick’s four-time All-Ireland winning skipper Declan Hannon. Factor in his five Celtic Crosses and the Stakelums have amassed 15 in total across three generations.

Among the crowd that night was current Tipperary forward Conor Stakelum junior, who faced his second cousin Hannon for the first time in championship fare this past summer. Nephew of Richard and son of 1989 and ‘91 All-Ireland SHC winner Conor senior, a selector to Michael Ryan when Tipperary beat Kilkenny in the 2016 final, it’s fitting that he has graduated from Durlas Óg, which was set up by Pat, to become a Thurles Sarsfields mainstay.

Can't say I love it. Prefer a "proper collar". No doubt we'll buy a set for the kids, regardless!

The FBD Insurance County Senior Hurling Championship Replay will take place in FBD Semple Stadium on Sunday October 29th with the time to be confirmed tomorrow.

Standard very poor today. Couldn't see either of these teams making any sort of an impression in the Munster championship.

I heard that myself. But I didn't see the kilkenny semis. There's two county championships not worth watching - Kilkenny and Wateford. No parish rule in Wateford - 15% of the population live in one parish. And, of course, Ballyhale (which is actually two parishes) is geographically the biggest parish in Kilkenny. Load a shite. I think they call it the St. Keirans model - pull, drag, and draw from all.

Speaking as a Kilkenny man, I'd like to see some backup for your comment about Ballyhale and its size. I'd be shocked if you were correct.

By two parishes, I presume you mean Ballyhale and Knocktopher? This is true but I think both are very small. some of the smallest in the entire county. Parishes like Callan, Castlecomer, Thomastown, Mooncoin, Piltown, etc are far bigger with very little club success.

Shamrocks playing numbers are tiny compared with James Stephens, O'Loughlins and Dicksboro. Their first 15 also contains several sets of brother and is very often drawn from only 6-7 families. They are an extraordinary club, both within Kilkenny and on a national basis. Suggesting they have some size advantage is way off the mark.
