Mid Tipperary GAA Scene: Junior A semi-final weekend sets up two cracking ties

Joe O’Sullivan Cab & Bus Hire Mid U19A Hurling Final: Drombane provided the perfect backdrop for this eagerly anticipated Mid U19A Hurling Final between Durlas Na Sairsealaigh Óg and Holycross Ballycahill. Both teams are no strangers to the big day and with both teams missing players due to injury, this game was going to be in the balance throughout. Holycross Ballycahill started the strongest but Thurles came straight back into the game and led by six at the break. Holycross though reemerged a different team and clawed away at the Thurles lead. Captain David Fogarty’s goal was a crucial moment in the game as his side ran out 2-23 to 3-15 winners. 

Joe O’Sullivan Cab & Bus Hire Mid U19 Football Championship: One game last week in the U19B Championship with Moyne Templetuohy earning a one point win away to Loughmore. This week sees the beginning of the A Championship and round two of the B. In the ‘A’ Holycross travel to Thurles to play the hosts in the Outside Field at 6.45pm while Upperchurch Drombane travel to Clonmore to play the hosts again with a 6.45pm throw in. Also on Wednesday in the ‘B’ Boherlahan Dualla play Moyne Templetuohy in Templetuohy at 6.45pm while Drom Inch host Moycarkey Borris again at 6.45pm.
