Miscellaneous

  • The relegation playoffs were delayed and postponed due to a series of objections and counter-objections. Ballybacon–Grange beat Cashel King Cormacs after extra time in the semi-final, however, because there was no provision for extra time in the original regulation or in the notification of the game sent to the two clubs and the referee, Cashel King Cormacs lodged an objection.[6] They appealed to the Munster Council when their original appeal was thrown out by the Tipperary County Board. A replay was ordered, however, finding a suitable date for the game proved difficult.[7] Cashel King Cormacs reversed the original result and won the refixture when it was played.[8] Ballybacon–Grange thus qualified for the final against Borrisokane, however, finding a suitable date for that game also proved difficult. The Tipperary County Board relegated Borrisokane, after they failed to fulfil the playoff fixture, however, the successfully appealed this decision to the Munster Council.[9] Ballybacon–Grange were relegated after they failed to fulfil the new fixture.
