Tipperary hurling is mourning the death of All Star Tommy Butler of the Drom-Inch club.

Butler played for Tipperary between 1975 and 1980 and despite his county career coinciding with a lean period, he was selected at right-corner-forward on the 1978 All Star team alongside Joe McKenna of Limerick and Charlie McCarthy of Cork.
