The Tipperary SHC and Seamus O’Riain tournament moves into the quarter-final stages this weekend as the competition heats up
There has already been some drama and entertainment in the Tipperary SHC this year.
Senior ‘A’ titleholders Kiladangan look like a strong side again this year. They finished at the top of their group but left it till the end to win each of their three games against Loughmore Castleieney, JK Brackens, and Moycarkey-Borris.
Loughmore comfortably dispatched Killenaule last week in a play-off decider to make it this far. They have now been rewarded with having to face another one of the county’s favorites in Kilruane MacDonaghs at the weekend.
The top guns of the competition will still be Thurles Sarsfields as they look to reclaim the title. After breezing past their group opponents, they will now play Clonoulty/Rossmore.
Elsewhere, the Seamus O’Riain competition has seen some stand-out performances by some of the county’s ‘B’ teams. A Lar Corbett driven Thurles is turning heads as they face St Mary’s this weekend.
The other ‘B’ team, Kiladangan will have a much tougher task as they challenge the favorites Killenaule on Saturday.
