CCC Meeting this Tuesday night.

County Bord na nÓg
Last Saturday was a busy day for our under age football teams with all three sides in action, Tipperary U14s (A and B) taking part in the Jim Power Tournament in Waterford, Tipp U15s in Milstreet County Cork for the Humphrey Kelleher Memorial Tournament and our U16s travelled to Limerick to defend their Munster championship title.

Despite their best efforts, Tipp's U15 and U16footballers both failed in their bid to land the silverware while down in Dungarvan, Tipperary's U14s ran out clear cut winners of the Jim Power tournament.
Tipp U16 Footballers began the defence of their Munster title in Knocklong with an opening round game against Cork (1) and despite starting slowly turned the tables around to finish deserving winners.
Leading by seven points to four at the break with three pointed frees by Josh Keane, two points by Michael Meagher and one each by Tom Kirwan and Dylan Moloney, Tipp clearly the better side went on to add four second half points through Josh Keane (2), Brian Healy and Paul Shanahan with one each for a four point margin win and a place in the Semi Final.

Next up it was Kerry South in the semi final and with Tipp stamping their authority from the start with the mid field pairing Colin Riordan and Josh Keane in complete control, Tipp enjoyed a lot of possession and made it pay off with a six points to one lead at the interval with two each by Colin Riordan and Brian Healy and one a piece by Tom Kirwan and Josh Keane.

Kerry South with the aid of the strong breeze made a bigger impact in the second half putting an extra five points on the scoreboard but Tipp weathered the storm and added a further four points through Tom Kirwan (3) and Brian Healy (1) for a four point margin win to gain a place in the Munster Final.
In the Munster Final at Limerick's Gaelic Grounds on Sunday last Cork (2) provided the opposition and while we produced snatches of good football we were never able to come to terms with a more slick Cork side who finished winners with seven points to spare
Playing our best football in the first half we failed to take advantage of the wind or possession generated and while we led by the minimum margin at the break, five points to four, we failed to add a further second half score despite a number good scoring opportunities coming our way.
Josh Keane 0-2 frees, Brian Healy, Dan Finnerty and Tom Kirwan with a point each accounted for our first half scoring.
Cork took full advantage and due in no small way to a superb Cork goalkeeper held Tipp scoreless while adding a further 1-5 for a seven point margin win.
For Tipp, Paul O'Leary, Ross Mulcahy, Dan Finnerty, Eoin Keogh, Colin Riordan, Josh Keane, Tom Kirwan, Brian Healy, James Feehan and Michael Connelly all stood out throughout the championship.

In the Jim Power Tournament, Tipp's U14 Footballers were in unstoppable form from start to finish scoring fifteen goals and forty points while conceding only fourteen points over the four games on the way to collecting the trophy.
Having played a number of challenge games prior to the tournament, it paid rich dividends with centre back Danny Owens (Moyle Rvs) playing a captains part and along with Emmett Moloney , Adam Fitzgerald, Michael Morrissey, Liam Fahey, Stephen Quirke, Conor Clancy and Caolan Hennessy all finding the target with regularity, the end result was never in doubt.
With convincing wins against Clare, both Cork teams and Kerry South in the Final, Tipp were deserving winners of the Jim Power tournament.
