The Tipperary Badminton Team with their All Ireland Medals and the Cup. Our own Elaine is holding the cup while Trevor is 3rd on back row from right. Well done to all and especially our two parish sports people Elaine and Trevor. Wonderful achievement.
All Ireland Medals Come To Rathcabbin.
Congratulations and many good wishes is extended to Elaine (Hough) Hogan and Trevor Hogan and the Tipperary Badminton team who had a fine victory over Galway 7/2 and a closer win over Westmeath 5/4 in the All Ireland Badminton final in the ‘G’ grade on Saturday last in the National Indoor Arena in Blanchadstown. This is a wonderful achievement for the team as they broke the mould and won the title of All Ireland Champions for the first time in this grade. Great celebrations indeed and certainly so down Rathcabbin way. Well done Elaine and Trevor.
