PREMIER INTERMEDIATE HURLING
After an opening draw 2 weeks ago against Moneygall we will hope to get all 2 points tomorrow(Saturday) when we play Burgess in round 2 of the county championship. Throw-in is at 4pm in Toomevara. All support greatly appreciated. Tickets for the game will be available to purchase at https://embed.futureticketing.ie/c/tipperary-gaa/ or via Tap n Go at the gate. The game will be streamed on ClubberTV for anyone who cannot make it.

SENIOR FOOTBALL
We were defeated by Moyle Rovers in the first round of the county championship last Sunday in Bansha. A cagey opening period had the sides tied on 4 points apiece before a goal from Michael Quinlan put Upperchurch three up. This lead was maintained until a late surge by Moyle towards the end of the first half, aided by a goal of their own, saw them lead by two at the interval. A second Moyle Rovers goal just after the restart extended their lead to six, and while a 2-pointer from Conor Fahey narrowed the margin a little, Moyle responded with another goal to take command. Upperchurch manfully tried to get back into the game and a number of scores, including further 2-pointers from Sean Ryan and Luke Shanahan, seemed to give hope. However Moyle-s experience saw them hold out and win 3-13 to 1-14. Our next game will be on Sunday Aug 31st against Killenaule.

JUNIOR B FOOTBALL
Congratulations to our junior B side who had a convincing win over Boherlahan Dualla in the mid semi final last Saturday evening, coming out on top 1-14 to 1-6. They now qualify to face Moyne/Templetouhy in the mid final at a future date.
