Shane McGrath has joined the management ticket at Kilruane, headed up by Tipp U21 selector and brother of Eamon, Liam OāShea. McGrath will be coach. He will continue to play with his beloved native Ballinahinch, as they play at intermediate level.
Great to see a few of the lads giving back; ultimately, they are upskilling so they can become part of Tipp inter-county management teams in years to come.
They play for the OāRiain Cup, also finalists in that competition are promoted for following year. They also play in their divisional senior championships.
Youād also wonder what kind of caliber of Tipperary Hurling supporters we have on here when the fucking apes didnāt know that one of their greatest hurlers of all time did his cruciate in their Senior Club Championship back in October. Embarrassing ffs sakeā¦
Weāve been drunk on the joy of sweet success since September you ape.
Iām sure recovery would be complete prior to the completion of this years championship.
Thatās really weird. Itād be like Joe Canning joining the Limerick management team for the 1B league campaign while heās recovering from injury despite Galway competing in it.
Tough group for ye. Toome had a bad year last year but youād think theyād improve. Roscrea are decent and Ballingarry only missed out on being promoted to Roinn 1 on score difference last year
