FRIENDS OF TIPPERARY FOOTBALL

The Friends of Tipperary Football Committee would like to invite you to their “Tipperary Football, Past, Present and Future” event which will be held in The Horse and Jockey this Friday November 17 at 7.30pm. The guest speaker on the night will be former Tipperary Manager, Seamus McCarthy, who will take us on a journey from the early days of the GAA, through the tragic events of Bloody Sunday before bringing us right up to the present date and beyond. Light refreshments will be served on the night and this informal gathering is a way for the Friends of Tipperary Football to thank those who have helped us in the past and who hopefully will continue to help us while also serving as an opportunity to allow new members to get on board to ensure the future of Tipperary Football.
