Pity but you can't be expecting fellas to put their life on hold either

James Barry has announced his retirement from inter county hurling with Tipperary.
I know his form had regressed in the last year or two, but between 2014-2016 he did a great job filling the full back void for Tipp.

Think the Munster final did him some damage. Must’ve been a blow when Laois decided to leave him as the ‘free man’ in the qf.

You’d think he’s a few years left, only 29. Maybe figures he’s not a starter anymore

Huge commitment you have to give to be not even guaranteed a place, not at all shocked by this. Fine career (5 all ire medals in all, i think) and damn good player. One or two tough days (not always his fault, it must be said), but more good ones than bad. Helped fill a gap after Paul Curran retired, excellent in 2016 and again in 2017 s/f when all manner of doom was predicted on him. Wish him all the very best.

Yeah it certainly was, some of the scores put over wouldn't look out of place of the Sunday game on all Ireland final day no joking. I think loughmore will be dissapointed after realling in a 6 point deficit and at stages leading by a score but commercials having multiple players able to score form various areas on the pitch was the difference.

Think commercials have a shot at the munster again but by god their discipline is shocking, the amount of frees they gave away yesterday was shockingly bad and in fairness treacy for loughmore punished the majority of them kicking them over.

JkB no doubt underdogs in the final but I would have said that yesterday against Moyle rovers and they led them the entire game.

5 AI medals for Tipp and 2 Harty Cups and a Croke cup with Thurles CBS and a Fitzgibbon Cup with UCC. A stellar career indeed, when he replaced Paidi Maher against Galway in 2014 it was a massive turning point for Tipp, always a man for the big ocassion and excelled in Croke Park.

This is some achievement.

7 All-stars for Tipp, Hogan, Barrett, the 3 Mahers, McGrath and Callinan.

Special nod to the Iron Man Padraic Maher on picking up his sixth all star and joinging Nicky English and Eoin Kelly as Tipp's top all star winners, fitting company for an incredible servant to the Tipp jersey and he is still only 30!

While thats true about any player, I think the loss of Quinlavin is monumental when it comes to Tipp football.

We now have for various reasons lost 3 of our best players in Acheson, O Riordan and now Quinlavin.

Poor enough game but well done to Borrisoleigh. Kiladangan never really got going but missed a penalty which could have made the difference. Fantastic performance from JD Devaney and when the chips were down Brendan Maher and Dan Mccormick really stood up.

Holycross left heartbroken after a goal from the brackens with the last puck of the ball {a free from 30 metres) meant a one point defeat.

Well done to Borris-Ileigh who were crowned SH Champions bridging a 33year gap. Hard luck to Kiladangan who also lost out in the IHCF to Sean Treacys yesterday.
Borris-Ileigh will play Glen Rovers (Cork) in the 2019 AIB Munster Club Senior Hurling Championship Semi Final on Sunday November 10th at 1:30pm in Semple Stadium.

What age is JD Devaney? Would he be up to inter county standard?

He's still a minor, U18 in Tipp. Very tidy player and has great pace. A few more inches of height and he'll be a massive prospect.

Yeah he's still in school playing Harty Cup. He's small and light but extremely quick. Reminds me a bit of a young Eddie Brennan.

Could be brought in next year maybe for look but most likely a couple years off.

Not sure how any one could call it a bad game. Tough close game played in November plenty of fine hurlers on show. Some people never happy.

In 2018, I think Borris won the County Minor B also this year.

Two great sporting teams ! Not a bad foul or a dirty stroke through out the whole game. I was really impressed how sporting the game was.

Just watched on tg4, good stuff for winter hurling. Borris just had upper hand physically i thought, kiladangan tried to play all the hurling but was a tough enough day for it.

Will Paul Collins remain on as Tipperary minor hurling manager for 2020?
