Positive signs for Sheedy’s Tipp

WHAT an outstanding advert for the National Hurling League this was.

Just goes to show what can be achieved when there’s a bit of effort put into the marketing of a game, as there was for this one in Thurles yesterday, with free admission after the two previous efforts to play the game were called off due to bad weather.

It was a fine sunny day, admittedly, with no other big hurling games on, but a crowd of over 20,000 proves that even in early March, the appetite is still there for hurling.
