The Tipperary County Board finally has elected its new Vice Chairman at a specially convened re-vote at the Dome, Thurles on Tuesday night.

Borris-Ileigh's Michael Tierney has been elected to the role, beating off the stiff competition of Roscrea's Mark McLoughlin by a tally of 130 votes to 101.

It finally puts the bed the overdue appointment which had to be delayed after an issue was discovered with the number of voting cards issued to delegates at the Tipperary GAA Convention back in December.
