Fr. Alec Reid Tournament
Tipperary drew with Antrim in Belfast on Saturday in the Fr. Alec Reid tournament held at Davitts GAA Club on the Falls Road, Belfast to celebrate the opening of their fantastic new pitch. The Davitts club was founded in 1912 but never had their own playing field until this impressive new facility was built. Fr. Alec played hurling and Gaelic football with Nenagh and won an All-Ireland hurling minor title in 1949 with Tipperary before joining the Redemptorist order. Fr. Alec was an instrumental in bringing about peace to Northern Ireland.
The referee, Colum Canning, symbolically throw in the Nenagh Éire Óg sliothar before giving it to the Davitts club who will now put it on permanent display in their clubhouse.
