Limerick blast past Tipperary with 15-Point Statement Win.
Limerick delivered a ruthless, high-intensity performance to overpower Tipperary by 0-36pts to 0-21pts at FBD Semple Stadium, extending their unbeaten streak against the blue and gold to 13 matches.
A blistering opening spell set the tone as Limerick surged into a 0-07 to 0-00 lead inside 11 minutes and powered on to a commanding 0-20 to 0-07 advantage by half-time, in calm but damp conditions, in front of 15,221 spectators.
Match Highlights. Aidan O’Connor led the charge with a superb 0-11, as Limerick spread the scoring load with 12 different scorers from play. Tipperary’s scoring output struggled to match Limerick’s pace and cohesion, registering just five scorers from play across the contest. A turning point arrived moments after the restart when Willie Connors was shown a straight red card following an off-the-ball incident, with Limerick already firmly in control.
Relentless Control, Clinical Finishing. Limerick’s defensive pressure and turnover game repeatedly disrupted Tipperary’s rhythm, allowing the visitors to convert possession into points at speed. The lead remained beyond reach throughout, with Limerick continuing to tack on scores from multiple sources and keeping the scoreboard moving deep into the second half. Tipperary rallied with increased urgency after the break, led by the experience of Noel McGrath, but each push was met by a steady Limerick response to maintain a double-digit cushion and close out a comprehensive victory.
Table Impact. The result strengthens Limerick’s position in the Allianz Hurling League as they jump from fourth to second in Division 1A, with Tipperary dropping to third on score difference.
Next Fixtures Limerick travel to Offaly next Sunday. Tipperary have a bye week before travelling to Waterford.
Accepting the award at the ceremony in Dublin, Ms Buckley described the past year as a “roller-coaster” and said it was an honour to “come home” to celebrate with the Irish creative community, reflecting on how storytelling, music and art shaped her upbringing.
In her remarks, she also paid tribute to her co-star Mr Paul Mescal, who portrays Shakespeare in the film, adding that she loves him. Mr Mescal was named Supporting Actor (Film) for Hamnet , but was not present to collect the award. Hamnet was among the night’s standout winners, also receiving the International Film award and Script (Film) honour and shared between Ms Maggie O’Farrell and Ns Chloé Zhao.
Ms Buckley, who formerly attended the Ursuline Secondary School here in Thurles, has also been recognised during the current awards season for her work in Hamnet, including major international nominations.

There’s something special on the way for Thurles, a proper live night out with a purpose at its heart; supporting “In Our Hands”, the re-roofing campaign to preserve our Cathedral of the Assumption, for generations to come.
We’re delighted to confirm that final plans for the music night are now almost concluded. While the final details are still being agreed, the spirit of the evening is already clear; community, music, and meaningful support for a cause that matters deeply, right across the Diocese of Cashel and Emly.
Those performing have very kindly committed to making this a night that keeps the campaign front and centre, and it’s being done in a particularly fitting way. The event will also mark a milestone year for the professional performers themselves, a moment that reflects years of gigs, hard work, and loyal audiences who kept showing up. Rather than celebrating quietly, they’ve chosen to share it in the best way possible; by helping the events committee restore Thurles Cathedral roof.
So what can people expect?
A professional live music night — Upbeat, Welcoming, and Community-focused for all age groups.
Clear ticketed fundraising on the night, with a chance to win major raffle prizes.
Confirmed updates coming soon in relation to date, venue and time.
In the meantime, please keep an eye out, spread the word, and if you can, bring a friend. Nights like this work best when the whole community gets behind them — because the best kind of anniversary isn’t just looking back. It’s giving something forward.
Tickets will cost €25.00. Come for the tunes, the atmosphere, and the shared sense of doing something worthwhile — all under the one roof, all pulling in the same direction.
Lyrics: Canadian singer/songwriter guitarist, and music historian Allister MacGillivray. Vocals: Canadian retired country, pop music and 4 Grammy Award singer Anne Murray.
Anne Murray.
“Song for the Mira” was written in 1973. The “Mira”isn’t a person or a made up place-name for the lyric and video shown hereunder; it’s the actual Mira River in Cape Breton Island, at the eastern end of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, and by extension the easy-going river communities along its banks.
Song For The Mira.
Song For The Mira.
Out on the Mira on warm afternoons, Old men go fishing with black line and spoons, And if they catch nothing they never complain, I wish I was with them again. As boys in their boats call to girls on the shore, Teasing the one that they dearly adore, And into the evening the courting begins, I wish I was with them again. Can you imagine a piece of the universe, More fit for princes and kings? I’ll trade you ten of your cities, For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings. Out on the Mira on soft summer nights, Bonfires blaze to the children’s delight, They dance ’round the flames singing songs with their friends, And I wish I was with them again. Can you imagine a piece of the universe, More fit for princes and kings? I’ll trade you ten of your cities, For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings. Now I’ll conclude with a “wish you go well” Sweet be your dreams, and your happiness swell, I’ll leave you here, for my journey begins, I’m going to be with them, Going to be with them, I’m going to be with them again. Can you imagine a piece of the universe, More fit for princes and kings? I’ll trade you ten of your cities, For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings. Can you imagine a piece of the universe, More fit for princes and kings? I’ll trade you ten of your cities, For Marion Bridge and the pleasure it brings.
