Tributes are being paid today as a former Tipperary hurler is being laid to rest.
Tom McLoughney won All-Ireland hurling medals with the Premier in 1961 and 1962.
He was also a president of the Kilruane McDonagh’s GAA club.
Speaking to Tipp FM, club chairman Joe Whelan says he was a club stalwart.
“Tom was a real Gael – he put a lot back into the club when he finished hurling. He was a great supporter of Tipperary after retiring and he put a lot of time into the club here.”
“There was no other word for it only a stalwart really – Tom would be seen regularly at games until his health started to fail in the last few years. But I have to say Tom fought it out in true Tom McLoughney fashion.”
