Liam Barron was a lovely hurler but mad as a brush.
What pitch was that photo taken at - Clonmel?
Not sure but Iād guess Fethard.
Kevin hit three points in the 97 minster final on Daly but was never seen again for the year. He was dropped for the Down game for Liam McGrath. He was Burgess wasnāt he?

Nicholas English dropped Declan Ryan for Eddie Tucker for the replay against Clare in 99, he didnāt play much for Tipp again after that.
Was the replay the game where the only one of the Tipp players to stand up to Clare was Donnacha Fahey?
Pity he followed the Dara Egan method of S and C

Fahey was a great man to lower the blade. And he had a serious set of sideburns.
Clare blew Tipp away in the 1st 15 minutes if memory serves.
Yep, of a Saturday in Cork.
I recall Conal Bonnar lowering the blade often & very early.
Not Fethard, maybe Kilsheelan.
Housing behind both goals so Fethard was a bad call on my part. My knowledge of South venues is weak tbh.
Was that a South or Co final?
He was. He broke Willie Barrettās ankle at a challenge match in Clonmel trying to scutch Ken McGrath.
I played a football match in Kilsheelan once. I was humiliated by two young Tipperary footballers, Tommy Sheehan and Brian Burke, I think they were.
Thatās right. I think there was a video of it somewhere .
Fethard, two good ones.
They were. Burke was one of the best footballers I ever marked.
He was on the Irish team for the compromise rules.
County Iād say, not Kilsheelan either.
That pitch is Cahir Iād be 99% sure. Was bugging me for a while
Thatās the same goal both photographs are facing also @carryharry but Fethard has houses at the sides not behind the goals
