BORRIS-ILEIGH WERE knocked out of the Tipperary senior hurling championship on Sunday afternoon following a one-point loss to Drom & Inch.
Borris-Ileigh — who were beaten All-Ireland club finalists as recently as 2020 — knew that only a win could keep alive their hopes of progressing to the knockout rounds.
But David Collins’s early goal proved to be decisive in a 1-15 to 0-17 win as Drom made it a perfect three from three to progress as Group 2 winners.

Elsewhere in Group 2, Thurles Sarsfields were six-point winners against winless Templederry Kenyons, 2-19 to 2-13, to ensure that they finished as runners-up.
Up next for Sars is a preliminary quarter-final against Clonoulty Rossmore, who came out on the wrong side of a one-point game against Kilruane MacDonaghs in Group 1.
Goals from Cian Darcy, Seamus Hennessy and Willie Cleary gave MacDonaghs a 3-15 to 1-20 win.
In Group 4, Kiladangan progressed as group winners thanks to a five-point win over JK Brackens, 3-13 to 1-14.
They’ll be joined in the quarter-finals by Loughmore Castleiney, who beat Éire Óg Annacarty Donohill 1-21 to 1-17 to finish as runners-up, while third-placed Brackens will now have a week to get ready for a preliminary quarter-finals against Nenagh Éire Óg.
