Tipp's Conor Sweeney in the Spotlight!

Conor Sweeney (Ballyporeen) in the spotlight

Conor Sweeney who won the award of South Tipperary Senior Footballer of the Year for 2017 has had a wonderful career representing Tipperary football.

A former County Minor captain (2008), Conor won a Munster U21 Championship medal with Tipperary in 2010, the same year in which he made his senior debut against Laois in the All-Ireland qualifiers.

Ballyporeen's best - Tipperary's Conor Sweeney.

In 2013 he captained his club to County Intermediate honours and played in a Sigerson Cup final with UCC the same year. 2016, saw Conor and his teammates light up Croke Park, with the Ballyporeen man blasting home 2-2 in the destruction of Connacht Champions Galway.

Last year, he was consistency personified during Tipperary’s National league Division 3 success, which included a GAA.ie player of the week award for his blistering 2-7 against Longford. Conor rounded off a great year by being selected on Joe Kernan’s Irish International Rules team in November, scoring an over in the first test in Adelaide.
