Tipperary turmoil puts Fermanagh game in doubt

TIPPERARY’S participation in Saturday’s Bank of Ireland first-round qualifier game against Fermanagh in Thurles was cast into doubt last night.

With the management team standing down after their failure to have a divisional hurling championship game involving one of their players postponed, it was not clear if the players would be prepared to go ahead with the game.

In the meantime, GAA officials are adamant that the game will be played as planned while opponents Fermanagh are planning on the basis that it will.
