There will be plenty of hurleys broken this weekend in Tipperary
Outstanding value for hurling enthusiasts in Tipperary
Tipperary County Board will host over 20 FBD Insurance county hurling championship games in the Seamus O'Riain, intermediate hurling and Dan Breen Cup competitions.
The new county championship sponsorship deal was announced this week by the Board and FBD Insurance. And, patrons are certainly getting full bang for their buck in this re-opening weekend of the championships following the summer closure and Tipperary's voyage to All-Ireland glory in the senior and u-20 grades.
The Board is offering an incredible weekend ticket for just €15 which will entitle patrons to enter all the games they wish on Saturday and Sunday. Of course it would be physically impossible for hurling enthusiasts to get to all the games, but still, the value is outstanding and the package can be purchased from gate checkers at all games on Saturday or from the Tipperary GAA Office in Lar na Pairce today (Friday) up to 5.30pm.
The fixtures lists includes some mouth watering clashes over the course of the weekend with the pick of them, probably the meeting of Toomevara and Borris-Ileigh on Saturday evening in Nenagh. Then, on Sunday afternoon, Thurles Sarsfields will take on Kilruane MacDonagh in Templetuohy, while Nenagh Eire Og will take on Loughmore Castleiney in The Ragg, also on Sunday afternoon.
Note also, a few changes to the previously advertised list. Due to a tragedy in Lorrha Dorrha which results in a funeral on Saturday the Templederry v Lorrha Dorrha Seamus O Riain cup game which was fixed for Saturday in Nenagh will not go ahead. Both teams have re-arranged the game for Sunday at 12:00pm in Moneygall.
As a result of this, Templederry will be unable to stage the double header which was to go ahead at 12:00pm and 1.30pm due to they playing in the rearranged game. The double header involving Boherlahan Dualla v Borrisokane and Holycross Ballycahill v Silvermines will now go ahead at the same times on Sunday, 12:00pm and 1.30pm but in Toomevara.
