Tipperary GAA Football Board

I was disappointed that Michael Power was not elected chairman of the Tipperary GAA football board at the recent AGM. It makes it harder to take when one knows that most of those who did not vote for him never supported a Tipperary Gaelic football team in their lives.

Michael has given more than 30 years of his life to the promotion of Gaelic football in Tipperary. He did this in good times and bad—mostly the latter except for the last two years when the minor footballers achieved something that some of us have dreamed of for more than 60 years: a cherished All-Ireland followed by a second in a row Munster title, both secured under the management of Michael's son David.
