Geelong’s Aishling Moloney has won the 2023 AFL Players’ Best First Year Player Award. Voted on by the players.
I see Declan Browne is returning to manage Craigue Ballycallan senior hurling team
... Paul Kelly
the match was in the Senior club championship
I'm sure they have but whatever Junior club comes out of Kerry 9 times out of ten win Munster and more than likely the All Ireland. The Cork champions are very good but will probably lose the final unfortunately
That Clonmel team has a lot of experience and some very senior players. Thought they would take them to be honest.
Those tactics from Colm Bonner on Irelands fittest family might reflect why he got the chop from the Tipp job!
Beating the Kerry Junior Club champions is an Absolute Rareity.
Some club set up they have - as proven by their record in Munster and All Ireland championships at Junior Club level.
Great display by Clonmel Commercials, but they just fall short in the last few minutes. Clonmel Commercials. 0.10 Dingle 0.13
Todays football game is being live streamed by Munster Gaa.
And the pram , but seriously when it comes to women's sports, the women are their own worst emeny. There were plenty of their officials around to sort out that mess but instead they'll blame the gaa for not doing what they should be able to do . If the field isn't lined , then whoever owns the field is responsible. I know my own club wouldn't embarrass us by letting this happen
How is any referee or player supposed to cope with management, backroom, and supporters on the field!?!?!

Could someone please tell me ...........How many Senior Football Clubs are there in Tipperary ?
Great insight from Michael 'Babs' Keating, recounting the story of his grand-uncle, Tom Ryan, who played for the Tipperary footballers on Bloody Sunday and lived to tell the tale:

Where he fell
A super club doesn't always do much or anything for an inter county side or a championship. Plenty of evidence of that in Waterford and Galway. It can even cause friction at inter county level - the last eight years of Ballyhale's success created a standard of tactics and play that Cody couldn't replicate and that caused rumblings in Ballyhale (that's still going on - given TJ's statement circa the club semi with Cody's crowd - and going back to the Fennelly biz and the Henry handshake). Something similar has happened with Ballygunner and Waterford (not a happy dressing room - and some ballygunner players just opted out - happier with Ballygunner.) Galway have had amazing clubs going back a long ways that coincided with Galway being unable to get over the line. There some particularly septic club rivalries in the galway championship that did nothing for the Galway dressing room. Ditto Wateford. Likewise in Tipp, when Toome were eating everyone alive in the county, their standards were often higher than Tipp's, leading to some very frustrated Toome players.
It was a good year for the club championship in Tipp. Very entertaining championship. But that will be a sore one for Kiladangan. Did the hard work in the first half - came through in a good position after Clonlara had a very strong wind but discipline left them down. Were legless in injury time after playing so long with 13. Only themselves to blame.
Clonlara's biggest weaknesses, from what I've seen, are on the line and in the goals - which is arguably Ballygunner's greatest assets. I think it will be a step too far for Clonlara. Kiladangan would be no match for Ballygunner either. But Ballygunner could underestimate Clonlara and get caught. It happens.
Club championship in Tipp is actually very good, very competitive 16 teams where anyone can beat anyone. Very rarely has a team defended their title and we've had multiple different winners over the last 10 years.
Number of teams is not an is an issue.
For many it will be their only chance to display their talents on National TV.
Teach that discipline is more important than skill.
Yes it was stupid and dangerous close to doing damage to the crown jewels. Full compliment Kiladangan win that game imo so he really let himself and his team down.
Really dangerous and stupid thing to do from Dan O’Meara - scandalous. And just no need. No justification for that whatsoever. He didn’t get hit or anything. Just can’t understand a stroke like that. A loose stroke like Hayes can happen in the heat of battle and you’re always walking a fine line but Jesus what was O’Meara thinking. Clearly, he wasn’t thinking.
Looking from the outside I think its an overreaction, if Tipp teams were not competitive getting hammered year after year I'd agree but think its only Kilruane last year v Ballygunner who really suffered badly.
Didn't see the game , but talking to someone at it . He said one sending was totally brainless, the other was a total mystery. It happened in front of him and people didn't even see a free let alone a sending off . Johnny Murphy was assisting so that probably has something to do with it. There's not too many senior teams in tipp and the whole championship is set up for teams like Kiladangan with a match every second weekend. Great effort by them all the same
Cork winners have won one game in Munster in the last 14 years since they last won it. And usually with a tame exit. Kiladangan lost by a last second point down to 13 men. Discipline lost that match today. I don't think Tipp teams have been anywhere near as bad as Cork have been.
There's only 16 senior teams, how many do you want?
