The Tipperary hurlers have been running a laudable Christmas initiative involving Liam Sheedy and his panel calling to the homes of deserving supporters who might be feeling isolated during the current Covid-19 restrictions.

The camp has also embarked on a charity appeal to raise funds for four local causes — Nenagh General Hospital, South Tipperary General Hospital, Thurles Community Hospital and Cluain Arann Community Health Centre, Tipperary Town.
