Juvenile Notes:
U6/U8
Our youngest players have played several games against different opponents over the last few weeks and their skill level continues to improve with every game. Most recently the U8s played Ballinahinch.
U10s
The Annual John Joe Nevin U10 tournament is confirmed for Sun 13th September. The U10s also played Nenagh Eire Og last Saturday.
U12s
The U12 s played Patrickswell last Saturday in Ballina in a challenge match.
U13s
U13s played Smith O Briens in a challenge game during the week. They also played Murroe Boher in a challenge game on Friday evening.
U16s
The U16s played Lorrha in Ballina on Mon evening in their last group game of the championship.
The juvenile club took a bus to the All Ireland Semi final on Sunday last with a big group of our juvenile players. Most of them were disappointed with Tipp losing out to Galway but we believe there were a few happy Galway men spotted on the bus home.

Hard luck to Michael Breen and the Tipp Senior Hurlers who lost a memorable Semi-final by the narrowest of margins. Best wishes to Eamonn O'Shea for the future & well done on 3 years of hard work with the county. Well done to the County Minor Hurlers who have ensured Premier county representation on All-Ireland Sunday.
Tickets
Tipperary are involved in the All-Ireland Minor Hurling Final & as a result we expect good demand for tickets. If members require tickets - please contact Chairperson, Secretary or Treasurer on or before Sun 23rd August. We expect to have greater demand than supply & will have a draw (If necessary) for tickets the following week.
