Tipperary GAA 2020 - The Famine Is Over - Ireland's Premier Dual County

2k maybe.

They had 30 togged for the county under 21 final last year and something similar for the minor county final.

I know thereā€™s an overlap but still huge numbers.

I think itā€™s fallen a small bit for them at under 12s etc in last year or two.

Thereā€™s a picture on Twitter of Kildangan Seniors doing the 30 second plank challenge for a very worthy cause.

Just the 47 players togged out by my count.

Honestly now you couldnā€™t have a proper training session with 47 players ffs

An auld junior club could pull together 47 players nowadays.

Wait until the first challenge matches is played though. Then youā€™ll see the true essence of the GAA at the next training session.

They have 2 senior teams and a junior b team. And 2 full size pitches.

Nice piece by PM

Nice article alright. Pity Marlfield are basically finished

Marlfield, a club saw on the pitch. Thereā€™s probably a few other south clubs that Iā€™ve never seen in action as well.

I never saw them myself Iā€™d say. They have no underage and not sure theyā€™ve even fielded in Junior B the last few years

I played agin them, they had a lad who hurled into his 50ā€™s Iā€™d say, did a bit of reffing as well. Played alot of matches on the Marlfield pitch. Paudi Oā€™Keefe finished up playing with them.

Is marlfield the old limerick road between clonmel and Cahir ??

Itā€™s a few miles south off that road. About 4-5 miles outside Clonmel, must be 20 years since I was there.

He used to deliver diesel in home over 30 years ago. My uncles would be all about him if they were there when he arrived and he talked all day long to them.*My auld lad has little interest in hurling.

Did they beat Ballybrown?

Donā€™t think so. Think they were playing Cappamore the other night too.
