All-Ireland underage winners named in Tipp intermediate and junior teams

Andrew Ryan, Brian Stapleton and Tommy Heffernan boost Tipp’s intermediate ranks.

TIPPERARY HAVE INCLUDED All-Ireland underage winners in the county’s intermediate hurling and junior football sides that are in Munster championship action this weekend.

Tipperary face Limerick on Sunday in the Munster IHC semi-final in Semple Stadium at 2pm and take on Limerick tomorrow in the Munster JFC quarter-final in the Gaelic Grounds at 5pm.

Goalkeeper James Logue and midfielder Joe Gallagher on the intermediate hurling team both won All-Ireland U21 medals in 2010 on a star-studded side that defeated Galway.

Andrew Ryan, Brian Stapleton and Tommy Heffernan all featured for the Tipperary U21 side that lost last August’s Bord Gáis Energy Munster final to Clare.

The junior football side contains Evan Comerford and Conor O’Sullivan, who both started on the minor team that claimed a shock victory over Dublin in the 2011 All-Ireland final.
