SOUTH TIPPERARY SENIOR FOOTBALL FINAL
The eagerly awaited South Tipperary Senior Football final between Fethard and Moyle Rovers takes place in Kilsheelan on Sunday. Many Fethard supporters were of the opinion that Fethard should have beaten the Rovers in their County semi-final game at New Inn. The old hard luck story had oft been Fethard's downfall. The late Mikie Dalton often said “that’s the one player Fethard should drop”.
Next Sundays gives the Blues a chance to make amends. The outcome is awaited with great interest.
