Dual demands suiting Loughmore-Castleiney as they bid for Tipperary senior double

Before they focus on Kiladangan in Sunday week’s SHC final, there is the matter of a SFC semi-final clash with Moyle Rovers

All bar 2001 All-Ireland SHC winner David Kennedy of Loughmore-Castleiney’s hurling team will be togging out for the club’s footballers tomorrow as they aim for a second Tipperary senior double success in seven years.

Before they focus on Kiladangan in Sunday week’s SHC final, there is the matter of a semi-final clash with Moyle Rovers in Boherlahan. And at the age of 44, Kennedy, now the hurling goalkeeper, can be forgiven for concentrating on the one code. Besides, he already has four senior football medals in his collection.
