We’ll give it a lash, says St Pat’s boss

NORMALLY, a county title win provides the impetus to go on to win a provincial championship.

St Patrick’s of Tipperary, however, are hoping for the opposite impact.

Due to the fact that clubs’ second teams are not allowed to participate in provincial competition, the club from the parish of Drangan & Cloneen are representing Tipperary in tomorrow’s Munster JHC final against Cork champions Meelin (Mallow, 2pm) despite having lost in the county quarter-final to Kilruane McDonagh.
