County Club Fixtures schedule confirmed

By Shane Brophy

The Competitions Controls Committee of Tipperary County Board have confirmed their fixtures calendar for the 2024 season.

The schedule is broadly similar to last year with the club season beginning on the weekend of 17th March with the first round of the adult hurling leagues which will have five rounds of games run every second weekend, up to the finals in each division on 9th June. The football league will be played on every other weekend, starting on 24th March, up to finals on 16th June.

The group stages of the FBD Insurance County Hurling Championships in senior, premier intermediate and intermediate will begin on the weekend of 28th July, a week after the All-Ireland Hurling Final. As in recent years, the hurling and football championships will run every second weekend, with all hurling finals fixed for the weekend of 13th October, with the football finals a week later.

The under 21 hurling finals are fixed for the weekend of 8th December with the football finals the week later while the under 19 hurling finals are down for the weekend of 22nd September with the football the following weekend.

The scheduling of the divisional hurling championship at senior, premier intermediate and intermediate have yet to be determined as they depend on Tipperary’s progress in the inter-county championships.
