Ep. 219 – Tipperary Senior Club Hurling KO time.

Episode 219 of The Premier View Tipperary GAA Podcast sees Seán joined by Noel Dundon and Stephen Cronin to break down a dramatic Round 3 of the 2026 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship.

With qualification, preliminary quarter-final places and senior hurling survival all on the line, the final group games produced plenty of drama across the Dan Breen Cup.

The lads discuss Thurles Sarsfields’ three wins from three, their impressive form despite the absence of Ronan Maher, and Holycross/Ballycahill’s powerful second-half performance against Upperchurch/Drombane.

Group 2 comes under the microscope after Moycarkey-Borris topped a hugely competitive section, while defending champions Loughmore-Castleiney booked a mouth-watering preliminary quarter-final meeting with Holycross/Ballycahill. The panel also assesses Clonoulty/Rossmore’s position, with the club still alive in the championship while potentially facing a senior relegation battle.

There is plenty of discussion around Kildangan, who advanced after defeating Drom & Inch, with Paul Flynn, Sean Hayes and the experienced Kildangan core making them dangerous opposition heading into the knockout stages.

The extraordinary finish to Group 4 also takes centre stage after the final score in JK Brackens v Mullinahone was reviewed, ultimately leaving Mullinahone in the relegation battle and JK Brackens on top of the group.

The panel examines the scoring controversy, whether referees and linesmen should have a better system for confirming scores, and the wider issue surrounding the Tipperary senior hurling relegation format.

Plus, we look ahead to the Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship preliminary quarter-finals, assess the teams moving directly into the county quarter-finals and ask who is best placed to challenge for the 2026 Dan Breen Cup.
