Tipperary footballers announce a 36-man panel for the year ahead
FOOTBALL
Tipperary football manager David Power has announced his 36-man panel for the upcoming season which commences on Saturday next with a National Football League Division 3 South game against Limerick at LIT Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.
The team will be captained by All-Star Conor Sweeney (Ballyporeen).
Clonmel Commercials is the most strongly represented club with no less than ten players on the panel including the three Kennedy brothers, Colman, Jack and Conal, while Moyle Rovers have six representatives included.
A new face on the panel is that of former Dublin player Philip Ryan from the St Brigid's Club in Castleknock. Ryan won an All-Ireland under 21 title with the Leinster county in 2012 under Jim Gavin and later joined Gavin's senior panel. Philip is a nephew of Sean Treacy's GAA clubman Dinny Ryan, fondly remembered always for that memorable goal in the All-Ireland senior hurling final win over Kilkenny in 1971.
