SC & K United is a new name in Division 3 of Tipperary Soccer League this year

The pick of the ties in the Third Division is the game between two teams from the south of the county, as the returning Ballingarry Albion travel the short distance to Kilsheelan to take on the newly renamed SC and K United, an amalgamation of the schoolboy club Slievenamon Celtic and Kilsheelan United.
There has been huge work put into the renamed club in recent years, especially at underage level and they will be hoping this bears fruit over the years ahead.
Ballingarry have had many fine teams in different guises over the years, and are never anything less than a tough prospect for any side. Killenaule Rovers welcome Bansha Celtic on Sunday, and again they are a side that showed some great improvements for much of last season, but just couldn’t maintain the consistency needed to take advantage of some good results. Celtic finished bottom of the pile last year, so the only way is up for Bansha’s second side.
Clonmel Celtic are entering a second team again this season, after a year out, and with the firsts flying high, this will give many of the fringe players an opportunity to impress and force their way into the first team plans. They will certainly fancy a real run at the Third Division title and won’t want to fall to Donohill in the first test of the season. But the west Tipperary side will have ambitions of their own and this could make for a good game.
The final game of the weekend sees two second team sides, Tipperary Town and Cahir Park, measure up against one another. Both will fancy their chances in the game, and players will be also trying to catch the eye of first team managers in the higher division.
