Youth Division 1
Clonmel Town 1 – 0 St Michaels
Clonmel Town etched their name into the history books with a composed and disciplined performance to secure the TSDL Youth League title for the first time in a decade. This was a game that carried real weight, and it showed early on, with both sides cautious in possession and prioritising defensive structure.
The first half was a tactical battle, with very few clear-cut chances. Leon Kelly came closest for Town when his effort from the edge of the box rattled the frame of the goal — a warning sign of what was to come.
Town emerged after the break with greater intent, pressing higher and forcing errors. Their breakthrough on 55 minutes was a moment of individual brilliance — Shane Hennessy showing quick feet to create space before finishing emphatically past Cillian Fitzgerald.
St Michaels responded with urgency, and their best opportunity came from a dangerous Luke Webster free kick, brilliantly tipped away by Nathan Gucwa. The closing stages were frantic, with St Michaels pushing bodies forward, but Town’s defensive organisation and game management saw them over the line.
Verdict: A mature, title-winning display — Clonmel Town combined defensive discipline with a decisive attacking moment when it mattered most.
Mullinahone 2 – 1 SC&K
This was a closely fought encounter between two evenly matched sides, with the outcome ultimately decided by efficiency in front of goal. Both teams showed a willingness to attack, but clear chances were at a premium due to well-structured defensive lines.
Mullinahone made the most of their opportunities, showing composure in key moments, while SC&K, despite their strong build-up play, lacked the same cutting edge in the final third.
The game remained competitive throughout, with SC&K pushing late for an equaliser, but Mullinahone’s defensive discipline held firm.
Verdict: A game of fine margins — Mullinahone’s clinical edge proved decisive in an otherwise even contest.
Shanbally 0 – 3 Cahir Park
Played in ideal conditions in Scart, this local derby started at a high tempo, with both sides moving the ball well and looking to impose themselves early.
Cahir Park struck first when Josh Davy confidently converted from the penalty spot after good attacking play forced the foul. Davy doubled his tally ten minutes later, reacting quickest in the box to give Cahir control of the game.
Shanbally’s challenge became significantly tougher when they were reduced to ten men after a straight red card midway through the half. Despite the numerical disadvantage, they showed resilience and defensive organisation to limit further damage before the break.
The second half saw Shanbally dig in, frustrating Cahir for long periods, but a deflected effort eventually found its way past Donnacha Reidy to make it three.
Verdict: Cahir Park were efficient and controlled, while Shanbally deserve credit for their resilience after going down to ten men.
Tipperary Cup Quarter-Finals
St Michaels 2 – 0 Two Mile Borris
St Michaels produced a professional and controlled cup performance to progress to the semi-finals. The game began with Two Mile Borris showing early attacking intent, but they were unable to convert promising positions into clear chances.
The breakthrough came on 17 minutes when a well-delivered cross from Willie Armshaw was met by David Slattery, who powered home a header to give Saints the lead.
Borris continued to threaten in spells, with Jack Purcell going close, but Saints remained organised defensively. Their goalkeeper Adam Gallagher also made an important intervention to deny a one-on-one opportunity.
The second half saw St Michaels manage the game effectively, limiting Borris’ chances and adding a second goal to secure their progression.
Verdict: A composed and efficient cup performance built on strong defensive structure and clinical finishing.
St Michaels (B) 2 – 8 Bansha Celtic
This game quickly turned into a chaotic and high-scoring encounter, with Bansha Celtic ruthlessly punishing defensive errors and capitalising on key moments.
St Michaels started brightly, taking the lead through Cian Crowe after good work from a set-piece. However, Bansha responded almost immediately and began to dominate proceedings with direct, attacking football.
Goals flowed at regular intervals, with Kevin Mullins, Fionn Kelly, and Darren McGrath all making significant contributions. McGrath in particular was instrumental, creating multiple chances and even scoring directly from a corner.
The match was further disrupted by injuries and multiple red cards, which left St Michaels struggling to contain the attacking waves.
Verdict: Bansha’s attacking quality was undeniable, but the result was heavily influenced by defensive lapses and indiscipline from St Michaels.
Cashel Town 1 – 3 Peake Villa
Peake Villa delivered a highly efficient first-half performance that ultimately decided this contest. From the opening whistle, they looked sharp, composed, and dangerous in the final third.
Pippy Carroll opened the scoring with a well-taken finish, before Kieran Hennessy doubled the lead with intelligent movement and composure. Evan McCormack added a third before halftime, capping off a dominant opening period.
Cashel responded well after the break, showing greater urgency and attacking intent. Devon Ryan pulled a goal back, giving the home side some belief, but Peake remained disciplined defensively and saw out the game comfortably.
Verdict: A clinical first-half display from Peake Villa proved decisive, with their early dominance setting the foundation for victory.
Premier League
Clonmel Town 0 – 3 Cahir Park
Cahir Park wasted no time asserting their dominance, taking the lead inside the opening minute following a defensive error, which Ryan St John punished clinically.
Clonmel attempted to respond and showed moments of promise, particularly from set-pieces, but struggled to break down a well-organised Cahir defence led superbly by Chris Higgins.
Cahir effectively ended the game as a contest early in the second half, with Adam Hennessy scoring twice in quick succession — both excellent finishes that highlighted his quality in front of goal.
Clonmel continued to battle but were unable to find a breakthrough, and the result confirms their relegation.

Division 1
Powerstown 0 – 2 Ballingarry Albion
A tight and cagey first half saw both sides struggle to create clear chances, though Ballingarry looked the more threatening of the two.
Their persistence paid off in the second half when Keith Cleere reacted quickest to a loose ball in the box following a corner. Powerstown pushed for an equaliser but lacked quality in the final third.
Ballingarry sealed the win late on through Dylan Meagher, finishing off a well-worked move to secure all three points.
Verdict: Ballingarry’s patience and superior attacking quality proved decisive in a tightly contested game.
Two Mile Borris (B) 2 – 4 Tipperary Town
An entertaining and open game saw both sides commit to attacking football from the outset. Tipperary Town took control early, scoring twice and putting Borris under pressure.
Borris showed great character to respond, with Cian Dwyer and Michael Anthony McCarthy both finding the net to keep the game alive.
However, Tipp Town’s ability to strike on the counter proved crucial, as they added further goals to maintain their advantage despite Borris’ attacking efforts in the second half.
Verdict: A high-energy contest, with Tipp Town’s clinical edge and counter-attacking ability making the difference.

Division 2
Vee Rovers 2 – 1 Peake Villa (B)
Vee Rovers produced one of the performances of the weekend, overcoming both a strong Peake side and their own limited squad numbers.
After a goalless first half in which Vee arguably had the better chances, Peake took the lead early in the second half. However, this only sparked Vee into life.
Liam Mansell equalised with an excellent finish following a well-worked set-piece, before Anthony Crotty completed the turnaround with a powerful strike.
Verdict: A performance built on determination, work rate, and quality — Vee fully deserved their victory.
