Some photos of Waterford county fair where the tipperary games teams had another great day. The Junior Team came sixth, they put on a great performance however luck was not on their side on the day. We had two U10’s teams - the Tipperary Spots Team w came a brilliant second place beaten by the Island Branch by just two points and the Tipperary Stars team - the picture says it all - total stars -they played like pros and came 6th in a very competitive competition. It was the first competition for most of the U10 Tipperary players so a bright future for games ahead.
