Camogie sides are on a high in Tipperary however fixture clashes are still an issue

What a magnificent time this is for camogie teams associated with Tipperary.

Building all the time, last year the Under 16's reached the A All-Ireland final and this year's team are now in the Semi-Final of the same competition where they will play Galway at 4pm on Saturday.

The minors were comprehensive winners over Clare this week and now Tipperary will play Cork in the Munster Minor Final on the weekend of the 28th/29th of July.

The junior and senior side are doing superbly well too. Saturday week the reigning Munster junior champions will play in the junior All-Ireland Semi-Final where Roscommon will be their opponents in Ashbourne. 

The flagship senior team in the county are in a rich vein of form and will be red hot favourites to make the All-Ireland final this year as they take on Waterford on the same day in Nowlan Park in the All-Ireland Semi-Final.

The hard work has gone in week in week out, both on and off the field, for the various teams over the last few years and the effort is paying off.

While it is exciting to be in so many Semi-Finals the only issue is that the junior and senior games are in different venues on the same day and the players, who train together sometimes, will not be able to support their teammates and friends on the other team. 

Tipperary camogie have expressed their disappointment and frustration to have both the junior and senior team contesting such crucial games on the same day in locations that make it very difficult for supporters to attend both.

Tipperary camogie raised the possibility of a clash to Croke Park before the senior quarter final hoping for a change in date of the junior semi-final or a venue more suited to attend both games but were told the logistics and venues were already in place for the 22nd which has caused considerable disappointment to all concerned.
