U14: Our U14’s got of to a winning start in the plate competition with a victory over Silvermines in the opening round. The next fixture is away to Shannon Rovers this Wednesday evening.
U16: Our U16A Semi final v Nenagh Eire Og took place last Thursday evening in Borrisoleigh. A couple of early goals gave Nenagh a great start and left our lads with a mountain to climb. They worked hard to get into the game and fought back to within three points. Nenagh however pushed on again to win on a scoreline of 3-13 to 1-11. Thanks to the players for their efforts throughout the year. Great credit is also due to the Manager Brendan Kenny along with his selectors Tom Hurley, Francis Doolan, and Ruairi O Connell for their efforts also.
Well done to Kieran Maher and Eoin Stapleton who represented the club at Inter County level in the U16A and U15B competitions last week end.

A presentation night was held in Stapletons bar on last Friday night where the proceeds of the Mick Cowan Memorial Tournament were donated to North Tipp Hospice. Marie Mc Grath accepted a cheque for approx. 7500 euro on behalf of the Hospice. This was a fantastic amount and hopefully as much if not more will be raised next year. On behalf of the Cowan family Breeda thanked all concerned. A great night of music song and craic ensued in to the early hours. We thank the Templetuohy Club Officers, committee and supporters who attended on the night in honour of Mick and also to our own club. We thank the Cowan family for all the food they provided. The sing song was like old times, a case of Borris-Ileigh versus Templetuohy. We sincerely hope this tournament continues well in to the future.
Club merchandise is available in the pavilion every Saturday between 11am to 1pm or contact 087 9439531.
The best of luck to the Tipp Minor Hurlers in the All-Ireland next Sunday and to Martin Maher who is a selector. Go mbeidh an bua agaibh.
The club wishes the best of luck to Ciaran Cowan and Philip Rabbitte who are leaving our shores for Australia.
