SENIOR COMPETITION

Our Senior Competition will see eight teams compete with the teams divided into two groups of four each. In Group 1 are Clonmel Commercials, Fethard and our two finalists from last years competition Aherlow and Cahir. In Group 2 are our recent Division 1 League Cup and Plate Winners, Brian Boru’s and Templemore, along with Moyle Rovers and last year’s Intermediate champions Sarsfields.

Both groups promise some great match ups with the first round of these games set to throw in this week with Group 2 with Templemore hosting Moyle Rovers on Tuesday September 7. Also, in Group 2, on Sunday next September 12 Thurles Sarsfield will get their Senior campaign underway when they host Brian Boru’s. Group 1 action will also be getting underway with a replay of last year’s final when Cahir will play host to Aherlow and Fethard will host Clonmel Commercials.

In the Intermediate Competition we have just four teams, Boherlahan/ Dualla, Ardfinnan who were last year’s Junior A champions, Cappawhite who have regraded from Senior and Galtee Rovers/St. Pecaun’s who lost narrowly to Sarsfields in last year’s final. Cappawhite are hosting Boherlahan in their opening game date and time to be confirmed. Galtee Rovers will play host to Ardfinnan on Sunday evening with a throw in time fixed for 5pm.

Each of the teams at this grade have already played their first round, games with Mullinahone topping the table.

The Junior B Competition sees just four teams the combos of Holycross/ Rapparees and Lattin Cullen/Emly, St. Odhran’s/ Silvermines and Gortnahoe/ Glengoole.
