The championship structures for 2018 have been decided following a packed meeting of the Tipperary County GAA Board at Thurles Sarsfields clubhouse this evening and the link between the divisional hurling and county championships will continue.

A whole raft of proposals had been before the Board for discussion but when it came down to it, there were a number of withdrawls in favour of the motion put forward by sixteen clubs from mid and north Tipperary - a motion which was described as being anti-football.
