The Tipperary football championships round two ties got underway yesterday evening with Storm Betty in full flow meaning underfoot conditions were soft and puddly making for some low scoring games.
In the Senior Championship last years county finalists Upperchurch Drombane kept their season on track with a win over Killenaule on a 1-6 to 0-4 scoreline at The Ragg. Keith Ryan, Luke Shanahan and Arron Ryan were to the fore the Mid Tipp side.
There was somewhat of a shock in Cahir as recent winners Moyle Rovers where toppled by an up and coming Rockwell Rovers side. The New Inn based side got the vital goal to win on a scoreline of 1-11 to 0-12.
In the Intermediate championship Galtee Rovers/St Pecaun came from behind to overcome Aherlow Gaels in a tense encounter as a late Jack Crowe goal drifted into the top corner from out the field. Darren McGrath played a key role for the victors who won on a scoreline of 2-4 to 0-9 at Sean Treacy Park while in Killenaule in the other game it finished Mullinahone 2-9 JK Brackens 1-7.
