All wax and no wick, all hat no cattle, all sizzle no steak — for years it looked like that was forever going to be the story of Drom-and-Inch GAA club in mid Tipperary.

Give club players a break, have an open draw and play off the entire All-Ireland Club championship before Christmas — so says Kilmallock manager Tony Considine as he prepares his side for their first round Munster championship game against Tipperary champions Thurles Sars or Drom-and-Inch on October 28.

ON the Clonoulty-Rossmore team facing Thurles Sarsfields in Sunday’s Tipperary SHC final in Semple Stadium you have Tom Butler, and then you have Big Tommy Butler.

KILKENNY champions St Lachtain’s, Freshford meet Granagh/Ballingarry of Limerick in the semi-final of the All-Ireland senior camogie club championship in Freshford tomorrow, (2pm).
