The Tipperary County Board have correctly postponed six local club fixtures which were scheduled for next weekend, to prevent members of Liam Sheedy’s squad from incurring injury ahead of next month’s All-Ireland final .
The Tipperary senior hurling boss is understood to have met with County Board officials to discuss the situation and a decision was taken to postpone Sunday’s senior hurling finals between Borrisoleigh and Toomevara and Thurles Sarsfields and Drom-Inch. The four quarter-finals in the Seamus O Riain Cup involving Loughmore-CastleineyV Cashel King Cormacs, Templederry Kenyons V Portroe, Roscrea V Kilruane McDonaghs, and Éire Óg Nenagh V Lorrha/Dorrha have now been put on hold.
The postponements were welcomed by Tipperary’s under 21 manager, Tommy Dunne, who is preparing his side for Saturday’s Bord Gais Energy All-Ireland semi-final against Antrim in Tullamore.
Eight senior panellists, including Michael Cahill, Pádraic Maher, Brendan Maher, Patrick Maher, and Noel McGrath, were all facing the prospect of playing two matches in just two days.
From start to finish, it was a classic spectacle, as on at least ten occasions, a crowd of 27,864 watched both teams draw level and between them register six goals. Tipperary were impressive from the start with 0-4 to 0-1 in front after nine minutes.
Eanna Ryan gave Galway a massive boost in the tenth minute when he burst through a gap in the Tipperary line to finish with a goal.
This score boosted Galway, given that Tipperary were slowly easing ahead with points from Patrick Maher and Lar Corbett.
Eoin Kelly also introduced himself to the score board with a free and had doubled his tally in the next attack, but his efforts were wasted when a long ball saw Hayes break possession and race through the ranks blasting the ball into the top corner of the net, leaving Tipperary’s Brendan Cummins with no chance to save.
Following Tipperary’s goal from Kelly driving past Colm Callinan from Maher’s knock-down, Galway appeared to gain renewed impetus, scoring the next six points to go three points ahead and with excellent defending from Galway they kept Tipp scoreless for nearly 16 minutes, but Tipperary finished the half with a 1-02 burst to take a four point advantage coming towards the break. Kelly and Brendan Maher knocked over points, before Noel McGrath’s pass sent substitute Seamus Callanan through for a stoppage time goal and a 2-08 to 1-09 lead.
A sensational start to the second half saw Galway hit the front again. Damien Hayes stole a goal, and Farragher and Canning stole points making it 2-11 to 2-10, but then Gearoid Ryan raced through for Tipperary’s third goal on the 43 minute.
Lar Corbett gave Tipperary the added comfort of a four-point lead, but a fouled Joe Canning penality assisted by points from Damien Hayes, Kevin Hynes and Aengus Callanan put Galway back in the lead .
Last minute scores from John O’Brien, Ryan and Corbett saw Tipperary win this classic game which can only be described as fueled by sheer passion and quality skill from two totally committed teams.
Tipperary Team: B Cummins, P Stapleton, P Curran, M Cahill, D Fanning, C O’Mahony, P Maher, B Maher (0-2), D Young, G Ryan (1-2), P Maher (0-1), S McGrath, N McGrath (0-1), L Corbett (0-3), E Kelly (1-7). Subs: S Callanan (1-0) for Young, J O’Brien (0-1) for N McGrath, C O’Brien for Fanning, P Bourke for P Maher
Final Score: Referee: J Owens (Wexford).
A rare Co.Tipperary GAA medal, commemorating the first ever GAA hurling match in America is to be auctioned on Thursday, July 29th, at Mealy’s auctioneering premises in Castlecomer, Co Kilkenny. This is the first medal ever to go on sale from the GAA’s first official trip to the United States in 1888.
1888 was the year that the Gaelic Athletic Association organised a trip to New York for hurlers and with the view of strengthening the interest of the exiles in their native pastime, but more importantly to raise funds for the hosting of a ‘Celtic Festival’ or ‘Tailteann Games‘ (An Aonach Tailteann).
The medal soon to be auctioned is, we understand, presently is in the ownership of as yet an unnamed Tipperary family.
Five players from Tipperary were included in this group of 51 persons, dubbed “The Invaders” or Invasion Tour and included members of the Tipperary team who had won the previous year’s inaugural All-Ireland Hurling final.
39 members of "The Invasion" Tour. (Figure left with hammer is Maurice Davin.)
It is understood that only 39 of these silver medals, in the shape of a ‘crosse pattée‘ featuring a design of crossed hurley’s in the centre, were originally distributed. An interesting fact is that when “The Invaders” tour left America on October 31st 1888, its original number had fallen somewhat from the original 51 returning home, with 17 men at least choosing to remain in America permanently.
In 1888 the idea of hosting this ‘Celtic Festival’ was discussed and plans were put in place to hold this festival in Dublin in the Summer of 1889. This festival was to include athletic contests, field games, an Irish industrial exhibition and traditional music /literary competition. The estimated cost of hosting such a festival was estimated at £5,000.
To raise necessary funding it was planned that a group of Irish hurlers and athletes would embark on a fundraising tour of strongly inhabited Irish centres in America staging displays of hurling and athletics. While the process of selecting hurlers and athletes to accompany the tour began, £1,000 had to be raised through a nationwide fundraising campaign to cover players fares and each of the 800 or so affiliated clubs were asked to contribute a small amount.
Waterford are Munster hurling champions for the first time in three years following a lively extra time victory over favourites Cork, here in Semple Stadium, Thurles tonight.
A goal from substitute Dan Shanahan proved crucial to their final result in the additional twenty minutes for Waterford. Waterford had battled hard to reverse the scoreboard following Ben O’Connor’s goal put Cork in the lead for the first time, as the momentum swung one way and then the other.
Waterford led by 8 pts to 4 pts after a poor first half from Cork who could not seem find the target, but Cork came storming back from the dressing room, at the start of the second floodlit half to take the lead, before Waterford again rallied to get the upper hand once more.
Cork now began to up their game considerably and three further points, two of them from half-time substitute Paudie O’Sullivan and one by Michael Cussen, kept them in contention.
Eoin Kelly’s free kept Waterford ahead but that was soon to be cancelled out by O’Connor finding the net with a long-range spinning ball.
Tony Browne’s free kept Waterford a point in front at the turn, but once Dan Shanahan found the Cork net, Waterford now had that necessary cushion which guaranteed them, justly, the title Munster hurling champions 2010 .
