I wouldn’t consider it open at all with the seating at both sides of the pitch. There’s a very distance between both 65s.

The fact there are no nets behind the top end might feed slightly into this. It’s an immaculate surface.

927

It is a while since I played on it.

928

Most club pitches in Tipperary play small due to seats at both sides and biggish crowds that go to games.

Clonoulty, Dolla & Templetuohy prob play bigger than the rest.

The Ragg, Holycross, Dundrum, Clonmel, Nenagh, Borris are all typical tight club fields.

Total different game for the knockout stages in the Stadium.

The Ragg is only a Camogie length pitch (65m is half way). Unless you’re on about Drom/Inch’s pitch?

930

They are both the Ragg.

The Drom/Inch pitch would be more widely known. It’s also short with a wind generally blowing straight down towards the village.

931

Not that short compared to Holycross or Templemore. It is as wide as Semple Stadium.

Ah here

What always surprised me about Tipp field is the stands on the sideline. There’s no pitch in Limerick i know of with a similar setup.

934

That’s Andy Moloney on the sideline.

935

936

Second or third year now

The 200 Limerick club fans have to be caged off away for the pitch.

The Tipperary county board putting on a very attractive double header in the Stadium on Sunday week @peddlerscross (club double headers in the Stadium are rarely very attractive).

945

A club double header in the Stadium on a crisp October Sunday afternoon is exceedingly attractive.

A double header on a Sunday morning in July before dinner time is simply incredulous but that’s the reality now of the split season.
