Two of Tipperary’s supporters in chief were delighted to welcome the McGrath brothers, all stars of the Tipperary Hurling Team, when they recently visited Lion Matthew Burke House, Thurles. J.J. Cummins and Richard “Dickie” Martin are lifelong supporters of Tipperary and their native parishes of Moycarkey-Borris and Clonoulty-Rossmore respectively. However both were happy to put parish rivalries aside as the McGrath Brothers, of Loughmore-Castleiney, paid a surprise visit to meet with the residents of Lion Matthew Bourke House.

Pictured during the visit are Marie O’Regan (Manager), Brian McGrath, Noel McGrath, J.J. Cummins, Richard “Dickie” Martin and John McGrath
