We’d like to send our deepest condolences to Paul’s close family and friends at this time.

It’s been a great few weeks in Tipperary GAA with Tipperary picking up their 28th All-Ireland hurling title last month and they did it in style. Everyone in the country wrote them off, but Tipperary turned up and hurled Cork off the ball.
