Club Notes Monday 18th August 2025
No winner of the lotto. Jackpot this Tuesday the 19th of August €7000.
Our U13s were denied a spot in the South Final after a heartbreaking South semi final loss to Skeheenarinky. It was a game that showed the immense potential of this side. A strong wind in the first half had our backs under unbelievable pressure, but the tenacity and work rate from the lads kept the game within reach, going in at half time down by 7.
A spirited half time speech from manager Derek Tobin had the young men chomping at the bit to get back into it. The work rate instantly turned up a notch and they took on Skeheenarinky like men possessed. They brought it back to 2 points with 5 minutes remaining.
We thought we had the lead when the ever energetic Harley Dowley broke through the Skeheenarinky defence, only to be denied by the post. Minutes later young Billy Mackey took a heavy hit about 40 yards out, but big hit or not it didn’t phase him. He stood over his free like he had 20 years’ experience and drilled the ball knowing we needed a goal. It was struck almost perfectly for the top corner, only to be denied by the crossbar.
The lads were devastated at full time. Getting to a South semi final was a huge achievement considering only one player moves up next year, with the majority of the team having two more years remaining. The potential in this group is immense.
Our U15s had a solid win against a strong and physical Thurles Gaels side. Two well worked goals from Alex Stuart sent us in at half time up by 5. The lads didn’t ease off in the second half and kept pressing hard. A lively Rob Barry broke through for a third only to be taken down by a huge hit. Up stepped Billy Murphy for the placed ball, drilling home the third goal. Another excellent performance from this group.
Jamie O’Shea and Alex Stuart lined out with their county teammates on Saturday. Alex’s side took on Antrim and after a strong first half Tipp were up by two, but Antrim showed their experience in the second half and edged the win. Alex gave a great showing of himself with plenty more to come.
Jamie’s side reached the final of the Jim Power Tournament after a series of top class performances, including a goal in the final. Unfortunately they were beaten, but Jamie impressed throughout the tournament. We are unbelievably proud to have both young men representing the club.
