Congratulations to LIT Tipperary’s Hurlers who won the All-Ireland 3rd Level Colleges Division 2 Hurling League Final on December 3rd by defeating Tralee IT on a score line of 0-16 to 0-9.

Played in the most atrocious conditions, the match was delayed owing to the original venue in Martinstown being unplayable. With a pitch eventually secured in Rathkeale, the game finally started around 8.30 p.m. At half time, despite the appalling weather conditions the LIT Tipperary team were 2 points ahead.

In the second half, despite the pouring rain and windy conditions, the Tipperary lads managed to pull away from the opposition by showing true grit, determination and team spirit; and they were deserving winners by the time the full time whistle was blown.

Well done to the entire panel and backroom team of Brendan Maher, Toby Kavanagh and Wayne Fanning.
