Tipp SHC: J K Brackens and Clonoulty make quarter-finals

SCRUM: Mikey Heffernan, Nenagh Eire Og, under pressure from JK Brackens in the FBD Insurance Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship in the Preliminary Quarter Finals in Semple Stadium.

J K Brackens caused a major upset in the Tipperary senior hurling championship when they staged a dramatic last quarter rally to oust Nenagh Eire Og 3-17 to 1-19 in the preliminary quarter-final at Semple Stadium. 

A fancied Nenagh Eire Og side looked to be cruising as they led by seven points (1-13 to 0-9) approaching the three quarter stage but J K Brackens, who some weeks back won the Mid division senior hurling title for the first time, called on all the fighting qualities that had earned them that initial success, to turn this game around in the closing stages.
