NEW PODCAST 🎙️
On this week’s episode I look back on every game in round 3 of the Tipperary senior, premier intermediate and intermediate hurling championships as the group stages comes to an end
Listen on Spotify ⬇️ (YouTube link in comments)
Some career for Paidi Maher, first name on the team sheet for over a decade with Tipp. His record of only missing 20-odd mins of championship hurling for Tipp between 09 and 2019 was something else. Some man to get you out of your seat but I’ll never forget seeing this live…
GAA do an awful lot right but they’re missing a trick on some simple things
1. Stop scheduling games at the same time, spread them out over the weekend
2. Upload 5-minute highlights of all games online similar to how the premier league do it
Today Eoin Kelly (goalkeeper) and Paul Curran (fullback) will lineup for Mullinahone almost 21 years since they both won the 2002 county final
Their opponents today, Clonoulty/Rossmore, have a full forward line consisting of three lads who were born in 2003!
Can’t beat the club
No words can describe the feelings around Semple Stadium last night
It’s truly numbing and deeply saddening.
I pass on my most sincere sympathies to everyone who knew Dillon Quirke, his family, friends and everyone at Clonoulty/Rossmore GAA club.
Life is not fair.
RIP Dillon
GAA are doing some disservice to their members not having these games on TV
Think of all the people keeping clubs going around the country who may have bad internet or no means of getting online who can’t watch these games
Something has to be done, this just isn’t working
Extremely frustrating finish to the Tipperary vs Clare camogie match. Sides level late in injury time and the ref blows the full-time whistle as the ball is dropping in around the square…
Can’t guarantee Tipp would’ve still scored but surely let that passage of play end first
Myself and
@jktipp
trying our best to describe a crazy finish to yesterday’s minor final for
@TippFMSport
Tipperary and Offaly served up a special day in Nowlan Park, credit to both teams!
(Footage with thanks to
@SportTG4

If only there was some sort of championship that begins in August? Maybe like where county players just play with their local parishes? Ah never mind, just an idea
RTE’s graphic which has the games they are showing gives a flavour of just how condensed this year’s championship is. We’ll be very bored in August
#GAA
Just looking back on Jake Morris’ second yellow, fair harsh
It’s the defenders job to protect his own hand, as is thought
Obviously no baring on the result or anything going forward but doesn’t seem a yellow to me
As part of my thesis, I made an audio documentary on ACL injuries and how they effect players physically and mentally.
In the middle of my research I tore my own cruciate so working on this has been bittersweet over the last few weeks.
If interested ⬇️
Aw that is just unbelievable! Just what Tipperary hurling needed
Fair play to everyone involved with the team and the players, incredible stuff
A win for the ages, a proud day to be from Tipperary
I’m currently 40,000ft somewhere over the Middle East en route to Doha listening to

@TippFMSport
Jesus you wouldn’t be well listening to it, I need to get up and walk around this plane before ET!
Between a dubious red card in the 15th minute and this free to give Galway the chance to take the lead in the sixth minute of injury time, Tipperary can feel very hard done by today
Tipperary primary game team from May 27th 2018
Of the 11 players that lined out that day 6 are a part of the Tipperary U20 hurling panel for tomorrow’s All-Ireland final
3 Podge O’Dwyer
5 Oisín O’Donoghue
6 Jack Quinlan
7 Darragh McCarthy
8 Ciarán Foley
10 Sam O’Farrell
Cathal Barrett sometimes finds it hard to win a free, twas play on here!
Didn’t look like a lad playing his first inter county game of the year yesterday, great stuff from him throughout

@TippFMSport
It’s a campaign I’ll never forget for many reasons but an exciting finale in Semple Stadium this afternoon
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to our coverage and everyone who gave us their time
Delighted to get started as the new host of Across The Line every Friday from 6!
Hopefully I can continue on the great work done on the show by
@BrophShane
over the last 4 years
First show of the year is tonight from 6 on Tipp FM
A new era of Across The Line dawns today as
@PCarrollSport
begins as the new host!
The return of Tipp's senior hurlers and footballers along with reaction to Ben Healy's departure feature in today's show along with our weekly greyhound segment with Barry Drake
Tune in from 6
Still on a high after that, what a win!
Unreal to get to call the game with a former classmate watching our school make history
Just need to get the voice back now for the football tomorrow 😅
Here’s the final moments of Tipp FM’s commentary of
@CBSNenagh
vs Ardscoil Rís in today’s Harty Cup final!
Tipp FM’s
@PCarrollSport
along with Nenagh CBS teacher Philip Hickey on commentary duty as the school made history in dramatic fashion..
Absolute nonsense of a red card, something that happens 20/30 times a half I’d say.
I’ve never seen a game that Johnny Murphy refs that I don’t know he’s reffing it, always involved
I hope this isn���t the actual programme tonight
The John Doyle Cup on offer for the first time and this is the front cover?
A picture of the two captains holding the cup would’ve done
Hurlers are faceless enough already in terms of promotion but this is a joke altogether
2 points down in injury time needing a win to stay up… Take a bow Emma Morrissey…
@TippLadiesFB
Brilliant streaming service as always from
@LadiesFootball
A lot can happen in round three of the
@TipperaryGAA
county hurling championships
Here’s the permutations for the final round of games in the senior, premier intermediate and intermediate championship games
Could come in handy over the weekend ⬇️
Dylan Slevin’s win over Colin Osbourne guarantees him a tour card!
Unreal stuff from the Borrisokane man and an exciting time ahead on the pro tour for him!
Tipperary has a professional darts player
Wow that was an epic match! Pure entertainment. Privilege to be there and get to call the action for
@TippFMSport
We’re lucky we have this sport, it’s made for days like today.
Tipperary and Cork remain a unbeaten, massive month of hurling ahead
@HurlerD
I disagree wholeheartedly with this tbh. You’d end up having games decided on a dubious free. Penalties couldn’t be any fairer IMO, both teams know it’s there if you can’t win the game in 80 minutes. As for it being a bad way to lose, I couldn’t tell ya a good way to lose!
Best and fairest 😂 What are we at at all, it’s gone from man of the match to player of the match to best and fairest
Good to see the big issues being tackled
A day to forget for us Tipp folk but happy nonetheless to mark 100 live commentaries on
@TippFMSport
My favourite part of the job by far and have some brilliant memories already
Hopefully many more to come behind the mic 🎙️
Not a hope should that have been a penalty for Tipp but no way should it have been a penalty for Clare at the end, Shanagher pulled Heffernan around first.
The calls for Cathal Barrett to have been sent off are laughable as well
Just in the door after a long round trip up and down to Belfast!
Good win for Tipperary against Antrim in Corrigan Park
Goals from Mark Kehoe, Conor Bowe, Pauric Campion and Sean Ryan
Ronan Maher taken off in precaution, nothing serious. Roll on league semi final next weekend
Chris Nolan of Carlow must be looking at some of those other incidents throughout the day wondering how he got a red card, crazy call given they’d the whole break to decide
Also I don’t know how Kyle Hayes’ swing wasn’t highlighted, seemed fairly reckless from the clip I’ve seen
“A very proud moment for me and something I’ll always have a fond memory of”

Full interview linked below
Tipperary with a brilliant win over Limerick in Rathkeale in the Munster U20 hurling championship, real hearty stuff from Brendan Cummins’ side
Tipperary 3-18
Limerick 1-17
Quick match report below ⬇️
The Slevin family have arrived at the Alexandra Palace
Father Mozzie, mother Trish and brother Mark are here supporting Dylan Slevin as the 21-year-old Borrisokane man makes his debut at the PDC World Darts Championship
Hon Nenagh!! Some finish as Nenagh CBS defeat Charleville CBS 2-18 to 1-17 to book their place in the Harty Cup final
So much drama in the last few minutes with a late goal in injury time sealing the win for Nenagh
No love lost on the sidelines at the end I’d say 😅
Callanan really did have it all, size, strength, speed, skill and an eye for a goal like no other. Must’ve been a nightmare to mark.
He retires an all-time great and gave us endless moments throughout his career
40 championship goals from play is scandalous stuff!
Threw together a video on how I prepare for radio commentary with
@TippFMSport
focusing on the Tipperary vs Galway match yesterday

Two Olympic medals and one county long puck between us!
Great to have a chat with Daire Lynch and Philip Doyle ahead of the big homecoming in Clonmel
Hear from it on Thursday’s Tipp Today with the full interview on Friday evening’s Across The Line on
@TippFM
An all-time great for Tipperary. Proper leader and the first name on the team sheet for over a decade. His comeback from his knee injury in 2019 to win the All-Ireland with Tipp and reach one with his club is inspirational. Warrior
@BrophShane
I know they’re probably under time constraints but they left out so much from the Tipp and Waterford game. Especially given it wasn’t on TV. In bad need of extended highlight shows throughout the week or something
Memorable day yesterday on the 🎙️ for
@TippFMSport
Myself and
@jktipp
were a little bit caught for space so had to use separate booths, which made things tricky!
I was on my knees hanging out the window for Gearóid O’Connor’s free at the end 😅
As the dust settles on a wonderful day on Saturday in Nowlan Park attention now turns to this Saturday where our Seniors begin the defence of their Munster crown against Waterford in Mallow.

The final round of the
@TipperaryGAA
senior hurling championship group stages is this weekend
Here’s the permutations on each group ⬇️
Could come in handy after the games
Slevin 1-3 Hempel
Not to be for Dylan Slevin but the Tipperary man will learn lots from his debut
4 180s and a 167 checkout had the Ally Pally rocking
One or two doubles missed were punished at key times by Hempel
Decided to do a quick 30 minute rundown of all the weekend’s hurling in Tipperary
Nice bit of background noise for a Sunday night or Monday morning reflecting on the opening weekend of the county championships
Let us know what you think ⬇️
Tipperary coach Tommy Dunne will be seeking a hearing in relation to his 12 week suspension.
A date for the hearing has yet to be confirmed.
@TippFMSport
Absolutely gutted for Munster and in particular Ben Healy. So close to being the hero in normal time but I’ve no doubt he’ll bounce back from that.
Hopefully this will be his O’Gara vs Northampton moment and there will be many bright days ahead.
#SUAF
Tipperary’s Dylan Slevin has just hit a 9-dart finish on the PDC ProTour!
The Borrisokane man hit the perfect leg in his ET8 qualifier against Cameron Menzies to win 6-4!
He needs to win his next game to qualify for the European Darts Open
I’ve stayed away from tweeting about Covid and that since the beginning but it’s just become so frustrating at this stage.
If there’s more restrictions this winter with 94% of the adult population fully vaxxed, then what changes next winter or the winter after that?
Haven’t the stomach to record the podcast today after what we saw in Thurles, gonna leave it til the morning!
What are we thinking Tipperary supporters? Feels like we are a long way away from the level needed
Hopefully Cork qualify though, they can give it a right rattle
Was great to speak with Darragh McCarthy ahead of Saturday’s final
He’s flat out hurling at the minute but takes it all in his stride
Hopefully he’ll get his hands on the elusive Harty Cup for Nenagh CBS this weekend
Ahead of Saturday’s Harty Cup final, Tipp FM’s
@PCarrollSport
spoke to
@CBSNenagh
captain Darragh McCarthy
Saturday’s game at 1pm is live on Tipp FM with thanks to Denis’ Meats, Nenagh
Tipperary enter the madness of the Munster Championship today
They line out with 2 All-Star awards in the starting 15, their opponents line out with 38
That won’t mean much come 4pm, the Gaelic Grounds will be rocking
Honoured to get to call the action on
@TippFMSport
Tipperary GAA have announced a streaming partnership with Clubber TV
Agreement is for 50-60 Tipperary county championship games to be covered by Clubber in 2023
That was some attritional stuff in extra-time from Tipp and Galway, the work rate from both was unreal
An All-Ireland minor hurling final to look forward to for Tipp at the end of the month
Wow what a special day, history is made as Clonmel’s Daire Lynch wins an Olympic bronze medal alongside Philip Doyle
He’s written his name in Tipperary sporting history, statues are built of people like that!
BRONZE MEDAL!
Kickham Plaza, Clonmel erupts as local man Daire Lynch wins an a Olympic Bronze medal alongside his teammate Philip Doyle
A first Olympic medal for Tipperary in 92 years
Out foreign but despite being a GAAGO subscriber I still have to pay €11.99 for each game? Bit of a joke that there isn’t even a discount for full subscribers who are abroad
@GAAGO
Also doesn’t help that the first half of Cork vs Dublin has been absolute muck!
Dylan Slevin wow! Round 3 win in PDC Q-School against Scott Mitchell 6-5
The Borrisokane man was 5-0 down and rattled off 6 legs in a row including checkouts of 76, 118 and 144 in the last leg to win it
Huge win!
Can’t speak any higher of this lad! Sound as you can meet and even gave me one of his shirts after the interview, could be worth a bit of money in a few years!
Roll on December 17th 🎯

county hurling championships
A recap of all 22 games from over the weekend and what it means going forward
Link is below ⬇️
No stream of the Nenagh CBS vs De La Salle Harty Cup game is disappointing
But what’s even more disappointing is realising that the fiver you paid to watch it was actually to watch a repeat of the Nenagh vs North Mon game in November and not today’s game 🤡
Was great to speak with Dylan Slevin about the week he had in England earning his tour card. Exciting times ahead for him.
Clip from our conversation below, full thing will be online tomorrow
Great performance by the Tipperary U20 hurling team who beat Cork 3-20 to 0-18
Such an easy team to like, full of workrate, effort and ability

Borrisokane’s Dylan Slevin now just two wins away from a PDC Tour Card
He beats former youth world champion Keegan Brown 6-3 in their last eight tie on Day Three of the final stage of PDC Q-School
A 97 average takes the Tipp man to the semi final
Delighted to have been asked to make a contribution to this year’s county final programme about preparing for the games
We’ve been blessed with the weather so hopefully we’ll have two crackers in Thurles this afternoon
Tune in to Tipp FM tomorrow at 11am as

Hoping to see some history today, tune in live on
@TippFM
A lot of Nenagh folk upset that this was called a free out in injury time in today’s loss to Loughrea
I thought in real time it was a foul but looking back on it now it’s even more clear Eoghan Doughan’s jersey is being pulled
Frustrating one
Q-School ends for Dylan Slevin with a day 4 quarter-final defeat 6-5 to Prakash Jiwa
The Borrisokane man won’t mind though as he has secured a place on the PDC Tour
Will be great to have someone to follow now, hopefully some big days ahead
Here’s all the permutations for the final round of group games in the

Again, will be handy for the weekend ahead ⬇️
A tough weekend for Tipp supporters who traveled to Thurles the last couple of days
