THE FAIRYTALE ended for Upperchurch Drombane in Semple Stadium yesterday, a season in which new ground was broken in the Tipperary SHC at both divisional and county level, and a tame ending it was.

TIPPERARY have named five members of last year’s Munster U21 HC winning side for tonight’s provincial semi-final against Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds.

GAA President Sean Kelly has voiced his backing for the historic new Belfast stadium proposal.

WITH his side already through to the knockout stages of the Allianz NHL, Tipperary manager Ken Hogan has rested a number of first choice players for Sunday’s clash with Cork at Pairc Uí Chaoimh.
