On a different note, good win for the footballers.
Revenge needed for Saturday 😁
Live steam for Wednesdays game v Kerry on here
Moreover, Kerry also had a fair number of players missing due to Kilmoyley's Munster final, and it had been reported in the local press that various others had withdrawn from the panel due to disagreements with management.
Reported on Tipp GAA on Twitter that Willie Connors has suffered a double ankle fracture.
It's something that will hang over Bonnar and will be a problem for him unless he has a good league campaign. He is not an appointment that inspired much hope in anybody and he really needs to get off the ground running.
Regardless of how many younger players were out there - it's not in any way acceptable for Tipperary to lose to Kerry. Theres a reason they never have. It could have been much worse too given the penalty miss.
Completely agree on the hurling in Tralee being a big waste, so it’s not a ‘disaster’ in a sense and the match was probably an annoyance.
I'd have no problem with the divisional games, gives some younger lads exposure especially considering Sheedy didn't develop any of the youngsters in his 3 years, also we're looking towards a rebuilding phase.
Still think hurling in Tralee in January especially given the current circumstances of covid is a waste of time.
Congrats to Kerry. A historic win.
I see some people already have the knives out for trying players out and it couldn't get worse after one game.
Unreal. It could get a lot worse, in comps that actually mean something.
Said at the time, but that North/South/Mid/West competition was absolutely cringe and an archaic way of scouting players.
Should be scouting all club matches at Intermediate and Senior level. Granted, it might have been too late for Bonnar/his team to do this for this years ‘ championship
Watched the game, the conditions were very poor alright, woeful wind in the game, bad wides from both teams, but particularly from Tipp.
There was a 10 minute delay towards the end as Willie Connors was stretchered off. Paddy Cadell and Darragh Carey both also went off injured. Not sure the exact injuries for any of them.
Well holy God! Fair to say it can't get any worse..
Really no need to be playing hurling down in Tralee 8 days into the new year.
Full Time
Kerry 0-17 Tipp 0-14
Bonner is back training. Seamie out for the league I think
Niall O'Meara and Bryan O'Mara haven't committed to the Tipperary panel for the 2022 season.
Inter-county action starts this weekend.
Any thoughts anyone?
Is this Bonnar's links to Setanta going into fifth gear? Or a board thing?
New partnership between Tipperary GAA and Setanta College. Des Ryan, the former head of sports science and medicine at Arsenal, will now lead Tipperary's athletic and development structures.
It will create a pathway of progress for players from academy through to senior level at all grades. Ryan is now director of coaching and performance at Setanta College.
Dr Liam Hennessy, former Bayern Munich and IRFU head of fitness, will also be involved. Both have previously led youth development structures across rugby, soccer, and GAA, and will be overseeing a team of 12 experienced S&C coaches.
Maybe he doesnt want to. Has been there done that in underage systems in tipp. What is the more going on you think is happening.. money mad? doubt it.
Why is he not involved in underage structures in tipp ?
There is more going on with him then we realise. I reckon behind it all , money mad
Liam Sheedy to ... Monaghan??? Does he even know where that is? The mind boggles.
Loughmore are some club and John McGrath the complete player.
great footballer and hurler
a joy to watch
A huge ask, after all the games they've had, probably facing fresher opponents, I think Ballygunner had six weeks off before yesterday's game in Clare.
Credit to Loughmore, they never panicked, just chugged away. Their half back line was very strong. That Sars team looks like it's slipping over the hill a bit.
Hopefully Brian McGrath will get a go under the new management, has always looked a big game player.
Loughmore are a credit to themselves, wonder how much of a dent will they land on both munster championships?
Great finish to the game. Sarsfields very lucky to get back into it when 4 down, keeper going short for some very strange reason, but a great win at the end, totally deserved win. John Meagher motm, great display.
Double Champions !!
100% Exemplary player for Tipp.
Brian Fox announces his retirement.
A great servant to the county down the years and a serious footballer.
Best of luck in retirement Brian
Think today was 16th week in a row, hurling replay will be 17 then Munster club football 18 week's in a row.
9 of of the 15 that started the hurling final started the football but that's after at least 2 being injured. Pretty much everyone who plays hurling also plays football unlike the likes of kilmacud and Naas etc.
1 dual player ( Full back in the hurling) by all accounts, suppose there pick and membership is bigger than some counties.
Absolutely unbelievable.!!!
Is it true that today was their 18th weekend in a row playing senior championship?
How many players play both codes?
