Tipperary's unified master fixture plan is first of its kind

The Tipperary camogie and ladies football county boards have decided to put players first rather than the code they represent. “This is a small baby step, but it may yet prove to be monumental,” said Tipperary ladies football PRO Martin Grey.

BABY STEPS: Damian Johnston (Tipperary Ladies Football Chairperson) and Grainne O'Leary (Tipperary Camogie Chairperson).

Joined-up thinking. Or, in other words, common sense. What’s obvious is not always acted upon. Especially in the world of Gaelic games.

This Sunday, for example, the Cork footballers are in Inniskeen for a 1.30pm throw-in against Monaghan. At 2pm, just over the road in Castleblayney, the Cork ladies footballers will also line out against the locals in Round 4 of their respective League.
