Tipp Board under fire from Swans

Carrick Swans has voiced their displeasure with the Tipperary County Board after an under-age fixtures mess has left them in limbo again.

Swans have been waiting to play an U16 South Tipperary hurling final against St Mary’s, Clonmel or Ballingarry, who were originally thrown out of the competition for violence but had the game re-fixed following a recommendation by the county’s hearing committee.

St Mary’s won that game last Saturday week but the final, which was supposed to go ahead last Saturday, was postponed as they were in front of a Munster hearings committee in Limerick last night having successfully contested the authority of the South Tipperary Bord na nÓg to fine and banish them from the competition.
