Senior Notes:
Senior Hurling
Our Senior hurlers received a bye in Round 3 of the North Tipperary SHC and have therefore qualified for the Quarter Finals. Details to follow as soon as they are known. In the Holohan Cup (League), Ballina will play JK Brackens in Nenagh in the semi-final on June 19th.
Junior “B” Hurling:
Our junior Hurlers concluded their league campaign with a disappointing defeat in Puckane on Saturday 30th May. Ballina lost by 3-12 to 1-10 against Kildangan. The Championship is expected to start shortly and a big effort will be required to overturn some poor league results.
Inter-County
Well done to Steven O'Brien & Tipp Senior Footballers on their big win over Waterford. Tipperary will now play Kerry in the Munster semi-final. Well done to Tipp Junior Footballers also. Both teams play again on June 14th in Semple Stadium.
And ….. as Bill O Herlihy RIP would say " Okey Dokey ,thats all for now
