Wednesday, 29 July 2026 at 10:52

Ballinamere survived a late comeback from Tullamore on Sunday

Shane Hand's side have picked up one win after playing two title favourites.

Tullamore's senior hurling manager is backing his side to challenge any club in this year's championship.

The Offaly club were beaten by four points against Ballinamere on Sunday, after claiming a suprise win over last year's beaten finalists Shinrone in the competition's first round.

Tullamore trailed Ballinamere by 9 points at one stage of last weekend's contest before coming back within a score of their opponents before eventually falling short.

Their manager Shane Hand says he's happy with how the first two weeks have gone:

Here's Hand's full interview with Midlands 103's David Hollywood:

Tullamore return to championship action on Saturday August 8th against Belmont in Kilcormac while Ballinamere will take on Shinrone in Birr the day before.
