Clare and Tipperary overcame them by a point in a thrilling game. Tipperary 5-6 Clare 5-5. We would ask for your continued support for these girls in their quest for Munster Glory. Best of luck to the girls & Mark, Pat, Siobhan, Georgina & Liz who have guided them to 'Final' day...

County Intermediate Team
Tipperary Ladies Gaelic Football Team started their Tesco Homegrown National Football League campaign on the 3rd February in Bansha, Co. Tipperary. Their first opponents were Wexford who they defeated by four goals which was a great start to the League. The following week they made the journey to Longford to be beaten by three points in a game that was both tough and physical.

On the 17th February Tipperary Ladies went to Borrisoleigh to meet Leitrim and this was to be a game of two halves with Tipperary overcoming Leitrim in the first half, half time score Tipperary 3-8 Leitrim 1-3. But Leitrim came out the stronger in the second half and the final score was Leitrim 5-7 Tipperary 3-10. This was to be the first of their two meetings as they met later in a playoff for a Semi Final place.

Wicklow conceded the next game which gave Tipperary an extra week to rebuild on their loss to Leitrim which they managed to do and in Sean Treacy Park, Tipp Town Tipperary overcame Down with a victory of 4 goals 7 points. On the strength of this victory Tipperary had to make the long journey to Silverbridge in Armagh to take on the Orchard County Ladies. This was a nail-biting game with only a point separating the two teams, Armagh taking the victory. A week later on the 7th April they met Sligo in Sligo. This was expected to be a tough game but Tipperary defeated Sligo by a goal and seven points. With other results in Division 3 having gone Tipperary's way, Tipperary finished level with Longford and Leitrim on 12 points in joint 3rd place ensuring a three-way playoff for the final semi-final places.

The draw for the playoff was made the following Monday night, Longford got the bye and Leitrim and Tipperary had to meet again in Clara, Co. Offaly the next Sunday. In a truly nail-biting match Tipperary held out to win the match by one point. We had a Semi Final to look forward to now on the 28th April and Armagh were the opponents. The match took place in St. Lomans's GAA Club, Mullingar and Tipperary were defeated by two points, thus ending their Tesco Homegrown National Football League.

Congratulations to all twenty five ladies who competed in the games. With each game the team showed improved and twelve players scored an impressive nineteen goals eighty three points over the Tesco Homegrown National Football League Campaign. We look forward to the Munster Championship now and wish our very best to the ladies, Sean O'Donovan (Manager), Derry Peters (Trainer), Elaine Powell (Physio) and Kay Lyons (Admin)
