2021 Miller Shield

Well done to Rian Doody, Willie Barry and Ger O’ Neill (selector) who were on the West Tipperary team that won the 2021 Miller Shield defeating South Tipperary in their last game to claim the title. The Miller Shield was a competition between the four divisions and it was great to see it back in action after so many years. The two lads were very impressive throughout the tournament.

All proceeds were donated to Scoil Chormaic in Cashel.
