Eamonn Kelly hoping Kiladangan can step up

Think Puckane and you might think of Shane MacGowan and Christy Moore. Molly Sterling, Ireland’s 2015 Eurovision Song contest entrant, also hails from the small village in north Tipperary.

However, right in the heart of Puckane, you’ll find the Kiladangan GAA grounds, close to Slattery’s Peugeot garage and the school. This is very much a club on the rise.

Last month, Kiladangan retained their north senior hurling title to make it three crowns in four years in the division.
