Thurles Sarsfields honour fallen heroes

Tipperary SHC final - Thurles Sarsfields 0-27 Kiladangan 1-15: Just shy of a year ago, the Thurles Sarsfields club was plunged into grief when senior selector, Jack Griffin, died tragically.

He was a 47-year-old father of three young girls, a high ranking officer in the Defence Forces who was held in the highest of esteem.

His passing cast a pall over the club and town and in many ways, Sars didn’t have the heart for a Munster club campaign and lost to Limerick’s Na Piarsaigh.
