The Crosco Cup probably covers that.
I see Kickhams got Cashel in the first round of that.

Go into the mid or north. Thatâs pointless
Bubbles burstâŚ
Ah no
Normally around this time of year the whispers go round the county that âBubbles is flying it in trainingâ
Would a team of lads not playing for Tipp this year beat the actual team?
Did he open the door himself or was he shown the door?
That last aero bar did it.
Dunno. He wouldnât be simple to manage.
Bubbles, Callanan, Padraic Maher, Brendan Maher, Niall OâMeara, Willie Connors all gone from last year.
Connolly and OâMara two younger players who could have potentially featured this year.
Tipp Hurling really is a basket case at the minute.
Despite all those unavailable just 3 players under 22 in the current squad - Bowe, Gearoid OâConnor & Eoghan Connolly (Bowe probably the only one of those who might make a Championship appearance this year) and its hard to make a case for anyone else between 18 - 22 who should be there or who might make a breakthrough in the next few years.
This yearâs under 20âs are miles off it although the reports about Cummins as manager are very good.
The clear out was needed but heâll be frustrated by losing them in dribs and drabs over the year youâd imagine, when he had them in his plans, rather than getting a clean break.
The young fellas have to be given a go at some stage
For al the pessimism outside of Clare for their run at underage level especially under 21s/20s over the last 5 years or so I think we have a better crop of young hurlers between 19 and 23 than Tipp current despite Tipps under 21 wins in that time.
Exposure counts
MĂłl an Ăige
I actually have a sneaking fancy that your boys will escape the Munster pit this season, is anyone doing a market in that I wonder, to make the top three
Yeah they are getting blooded and getting game time. Aidan McCarthy and Diarmuid Ryan are 22 and 23 this year and will have 4 years starting of I/C under them. Tipp lads of the same vintage aside from Jake Morris are still trying to establish themselves
The 2018 AI Under 21 win was a complete fluke and the 2019 under 20 Championship was just the worst standard underage competition of all time.
Tipp had far better under 21 teams between 2011-2016 who won nothing, but there were some proper teams knocking around back in those days.
Calm down Stevie
I think we ought to be worried, we wonât win number 29 this decade.
