FBD INSURANCE TIPPERARY CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS
All eyes will be on the hurling championships this weekend, though from a distance, as Coivid-19 regulations, unfortunately, will once again see the bare minimum in attendance at our games across the county.
Current Dan Breen holders Borris-Ileigh get the defence of their title under way against local opposition when they take on Toomevara in Nenagh on Sunday. Last year's losing finalists Kiladangan will face JK Brackens on Saturday evening in Semple Stadium. While there is a wonderful array of fixtures down for decision, another one catching the eye of many is the clash of Thurles Sarsfields and Kilruane MacDonaghs in Holycross on Saturday afternoon. Both sides may have been expected to be in the shake up last year, so this weekend's meeting will give supporters an early chance to see how they are shaping up for 2020. Elsewhere Holycross-Ballycahill face a stern challenge when they meet Nenagh Éire Óg on Sunday evening in Semple Stadium.
Under normal circumstances all of the fixtures this weekend would be expected to draw large attendances but for now that cannot be the case. However, keep reading to find out how you can see the four games mentioned above this weekend.

LIVE STREAMING OF COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIPS
Tipperary County Board will officially commence live streaming of FBD Insurance county championship games from this weekend commencing Saturday July 18th. We have signed up with 'Streamsport Ireland' as our production partners and 'InPlayer' as our paywall and web site landing partners with the log on link from our own Tipperary GAA web site. We will also work alongside Tipp FM for commentary and analysis. We hope this will eventually lead to our own 'TV Tipp GAA' where we can feature mid-week highlights of games and previews, focus on clubs, live county draws etc. It is our intention that the streaming will be top quality and secure especially if demand for some games is excessively high. Achieving this involves a serious financial investment in each game so we must protect our interest by putting the following policy in place.
Clubs must apply to Co. CCC for permission to video a game for analysis or streaming purposes.
Where Tipperary Co. Board is already streaming a live game, clubs or individuals cannot stream the same game through their own resources.
Participating clubs will be granted permission to video the same game for analysis purposes only, but if this privilege is abused, permission may be not be granted to that club for any further County CCC fixtures at any level for the remainder of the season. Where permission is granted a video copy of the game must be forwarded to the Co. CCC. These copies may be used by Co. Board as part of future productions with our streaming partners.
If requested in advance, both participating clubs (only) may receive a video copy of the streamed game for their own use afterwards.
Saturday July 25th
In Holycross at 3pm - Kilruane MacDonaghs v Thurles Sarsfields
In Semple Stadium at 7.30pm - JK Brackens v Kiladangan
Sunday July 26th
In Nenagh at 1pm - Borris-Ileigh v Toomevara
In Semple Stadium at 7pm - Holycross Ballycahill v Nenagh Eire Óg
We look forward to the co-operation of all our clubs in making this initiative a great success for all our patrons.
