No fears for repeat of Tipperary football championship delays

Tipperary have no fears that the success of their U21 footballers may prompt a repeat of last year’s delayed senior football championship.

Loughmore-Castleiney won the 2014 title on St Stephen’s Day after their final against Cahir the previous week finished in a draw.

The postponement was a result of a number of issues such as the senior hurlers’ All-Ireland final against Kilkenny going to a replay, Peter Creedon’s senior footballers enjoyed a prolonged run to the last 12 of the All-Ireland SFC, the vast number of dual conflicts in the county as well as an over-abundance of senior hurling clubs.
