If you are interested in sport and history then Dr. Pat Bracken, author of the book 'Sport in County Tipperary 1840-1880, will give a talk this week that is not to be missed. The Tipperary based historian has undertaken significant work looking back though sporting traditions in Tipperary and he has researched extensively on the subject.
In bygone eras archery, cricket and tennis as well as horse racing and hunting were popular activities in the county. The ancient game of hurling was also played in the county.
