    I heard Gerry Walsh from Carrick was called up anyhow. Didnt really look at it much. Id imagine the likes of Buggy O'Meara and co need to step it up big time now as i feel there is places up for grabs in the forwards.

    Id imagine the hurlers should be back training soon if they are not back already as they have LIT the end of the month in the Waterford crystal cup.

    Sure Noel McGrath could nearly do with a break he was hurling u21 on Stephens day

    Reading the Tipp GAA twitter page there. Shane Brophy tweeted
    On this foul night, the Tipp senior hurlers begin their journey to win back Liam Mac #kindofnightswhenallirelandsarewon

    Apparently the hurlers were back training 'officially' on January 3rd ;)

    Training in groups of 8 since November as far as I know. Rockwell college being used, the Dome in Thurles being used too. Not sure about where they used in the West and up North.

    Was up at it. Shane Maher had a decent game as did Adrian Ryan. also its good to see the bit of leanness in the likes of Buggy who this time last year looked out of shape. it seems there is a bit of determination behind the players this year. Still think the management could be offering more communication and encouragement from the sideline though. They are just not Sheedy and Eamon O'Shea in that regard

    How did Gerry Walsh go?

    This time last year Buggy was still in college though so would have been spending more time in the Dome in WIT than the Dome in Thurles :).

    Rockwell is in the West so I'd say it was South and West in Rockwel and Mid and North in The Dome, at different times I'd imagine.

    Gerry hurled a good game in fairness to him. He was on Shane Bourke and acquitted himself well. Held him to 2 points

    Nice one Tipp Gunner! I was going to set up this thread but alas you beat me!

    Bad news, Callanan has an ankle injury. He went under the knife and figures to miss the entire league. Although he has bounced back from injury before I was hoping to see him in a lot of action this year. Anyway, speedy recovery.

    http://www.independent.ie/sport/hurling/callanan-to-miss-entire-league-campaign-2983517.html

    Article also has bits on the UCC/Tipperary game. Actually isn't there a Tipp hurler in UCC? I thought I heard it before and I saw a lad in a Tipperary training top but I don't know if they're exclusive to the team.

    Challenge result in Cloghjordan today - Tipp 2-21 Coolderry 1-18.

    Best for Tipp were Donagh Maher (younger brother of Shane from Burgess) who was immense at number 5 and even chipped in with a point. Shane Bourke knocked over 3 beauts, 2 of which were from unbelievable angles. Gerry Walsh put in another solid shift as did Adrian Ryan who is an unbelievably accurate striker of the ball.
    Overall Tipp played very well and preparations for the waterford crystal and league are good so far.

    Anyone know how the 21 footballers are shaping up this year? There will obv be quite a few from the minors coming up but many of them are still underage again for minor this year.
    They've been training sundays in thurles for the past few weeks but does anyone know they are getting on?

    Decent first competitive game for the hurlers yesterday. Fairly experimental team but I thought Donagh Maher Adrian Ryan and John Coughlan hurled well. Buggy O'Meara won an awful lot of ball. If can manage to convert that to meaningful games later in the year then he'll be a great addition. I'd expect Shane Maher to nail down the wing back slot this year.

    Good to see Shane Maher back on the Tipp panel this year,from what I hear his brother Donagh is doing fairly well with the team also.

    AFAIK only 6 of last years minors are overage this year Ormond. Quinllivan, Seamus Kennedy and Liam McGrath being 3 of them. Hopefully none of those will be rushed onto the senior team this year.

    Totally agree about the comments re the Maher brothers and Adrian Ryan. Ryan in particular has sublime accuracy and seems to be full of confidence. Number 5 is Shane Mahers to lose in my opinion. Donagh is very versatile and can play wing or in the corner.

    Hope Gerry Walsh gets a run out the next game. Also great to see Buggy back to the similar form which seen him explode onto the panel back in May 2010. Very unselfish player for a number 14.

    Buggy missed a WIT game yesterday due to injury - apparently he got a nasty hand injury during the match Saturday.

    rumours that 4 or 5 lads ave been dropped too (Festy, and Lillis included), nothing confirmed as of yet though.

    Kerwick chopped as Ryan swings axe

    31 January 2012

    Pat Kerwick is one of seven players axed from the Tipperary senior hurling panel.

    Manager Declan Ryan has re-jigged his squad ahead of the Premier County's involvement in the Waterford Crystal Cup (they face UL in a quarter-final on Saturday) and 2010 All-Ireland winner Kerwick has failed to make the cut.

    The Killenaule clubman played in the 2009 All-Ireland final but was a non-playing substitute as Kilkenny were beaten the following September. He has been blighted by injury in recent times.

    Others deemed surplus to requirements by the Tipp boss are Stephen Lillis, Paddy Murphy, James Barry, David Collins, Gerry Walsh and Kieran Morris.

    Replacing the seven, Shane Maher, Conor O'Brien and Timmy Hammersley are all recalled while Donagh Maher, Johnny Ryan, Sean Curran and Adrian Ryan come in.

    Michael Gleeson has withdrawn for personal reasons, Benny Dunne has retired and Seamus Hennessy is injured.

    What's Shane Maher like? He's getting quite the praise here. I'm only following the game since the beginning of last season, he's been absent so I'm wondering how good he is?

    Ridiculous number of Mahers on this team!

    Shane is a good solid hurler. Won't do anything too flash but won't be caught out much either. Its a pity he couldn't commit last year. I'd expect him to have put Henry Shefflin under a lot more pressure than John O'Keefe did.
    He has been in great form for Burgess in the last few years.
    It said in the match programme for the LIT match that this is the most Mahers on a Tipp team since the 1940's or 50's when there was 6.

    Re. the players that have been dropped the only two that might have been borderline calls for me were Lillis and Kerwick. In fairness Pat hasn't been able to get back to form because of all his injuries so he probably doesnt merit a panel place at the minute but he could be drafted back in later in the year.
    Lillis has played very well for the Sarsfields but I havent seen much from him in a Tipp jersey. We're well served with hurlers who can slot in at wing back as it is.
