TIPPERARY ALL IRELAND MINOR HURLING

Best of luck to Christopher O’Donnell and all involved with the Tipperary Minor hurling team in Sunday’s All-Ireland final against Offaly. Christopher has been exceptional in all the games so far on the road to the final. He is surely one of the first names that James Woodlock and his selectors put down when naming the team. Everyone in Ballylooby/Castlegrace GAA is incredibly proud of Christopher’s achievements to date and hopefully there will be a huge local crowd to cheer him on in Nowlan Park next Sunday.
