Tipp braced for financial hit

Tipperary GAA chiefs are bracing themselves for another tough financial statement when 2012 figures are revealed at annual convention on December 17.

Significant savings in expenditure are predicted as Premier County top brass have been “ruthless in enforcing cost-cutting measures,” according to board secretary Tim Floyd.

But writing in his hard-hitting annual report, Floyd admits that “the overall short term effect will not be evident this year as our income side has been badly hit.”
