TIPPERARY BOSS LIAM Cahill has named his starting team for their 2025 opener as they prepare to face Clare tomorrow evening in a charity game in Templemore.
Tipperary take on the All-Ireland champions at Páirc Shilean in Templemore with the throw-in time now brought forward to 2.30pm.
Two members of the Tipperary U20 team that contested last year’s All-Ireland final against Offaly are handed starting spots in midfielder Sam O’Farrell and centre-forward Conor Martin. Other newcomers offered the chance to impress are corner-back Michael Corcoran, midfielder Kieran Cummins, and wing-forward Josh Keller.
The experienced Ronan Maher is named at centre-back with 2024 regulars Eoghan Connolly, Bryan O’Mara, Conor Stakelum, Gearoid O’Connor, and Conor Bowe also selected to start.
All proceeds from the game are going to the Mary’s Meals charity which provides life-changing school meals to children living in some of the world’s poorest communities.

Awesome men, be unreal if they can defend their crown, national treasures.
An Irish athlete has won a gold medal in rowing, and yesterday 2 of them in swimming thats 3 gold medals for Irish athletes so far. Though 2 of them were representing GB they are still Irish, and it should be noted, not many gold medals come to these shores.
@Kingshu: awh now, We give out shit when the Brits claim ours we can’t be doing the same!
@Mike O’Loughlin: in NI the Irish and British identities are not mutually exclusive, a large number of people are both, that doesn’t make them less Irish.
@Kingshu: no gold yet in rowing
@Kingshu: but you are right all for ni are irish but we perfer when the tri colour and anthem is played
@Mike O’Loughlin: just to add Jack McMillan represented Ireland in the last Olympics.
@Square: Gold in rowing was Hannah Scott from Colraine.
@Kingshu: ya but no tri colour are anthem so she british gold
@Square: Irish athlete won a gold medal. The tri colour isnt the flag of every Irish person in Ireland. Like Jack McMillan we should be proud of another Irish person winning gold.
@Kingshu: na he is GB
@Square: did you say that when he was swimming for Ireland in last Olympics? Representing Ireland or GB he’s still Irish, and I’m proud when any Irish athlete gets a gold medal, are you not?
@Kingshu: when running for GB its different as i said we dont support GB is all im saying i know he is irish but dont support GB
@Square: So you’re letting your hate of GB trump your love for the Irish?
@Kingshu: i hate nobody are any country lets leave it now
