Local boys done good

AT Laffansbridge the first sign is spotted, nailed firmly to a telephone pole. The Killenaule club colours are prominent with the yellow background and red font, and the message is proclaimed simply: ‘Best of luck Declan, Festy and Gerry’.

Local boys done good

Ploughing in from there towards Killenaule village, the signs become a more regular sight, and in the village blue and gold bunting interweaves all the way down the main street.

The community is genuflecting at the altar of Tipperary hurling ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland final and the local panel representatives – Declan Fanning, Pat Kerwick and Gerry Kennedy – are worshipped the most.
