Top table changes aplenty on the way for Tipperary GAA Board

Tim Floyd in his annual report ot the Tipperary County GAA Board Convention has outlined his views on the proposed split season and revealed that he sent a proposal to Croke Park, for which he didn't even get an acknowledgement or a reply.

Describing his mood as being “hopping mad” over the slight, he went on to outline pro's and cons of the split season. More about that at a later date.
He also paid tribute to outgoing Chairman John Devane and PRO, Joe Bracken, who have served the county with great distinction during wonderful terms of office.

“Our officer team at the top table will see a major change after three successful years.
Joe Kennedy will step into the hot seat having completed his three-year probationary period as Vice-Chairman and I think he will do very well.

A new Vice-Chairman and P.R.O will see an injection of fresh ideas and opinions which is the thinking behind the five year term in our rule book and indeed the three year term in our own bye-laws. The Co. Chairman will also freshen up the committees and I am always encouraged by the enthusiasm of club and divisional volunteers who respond positively to the invitation when asked to step up. This is what makes the GAA the great organisation that it is today
and long may it continue,” he said.
