The funeral arrangements for Tony Reddin, who was goalkeeper on the Hurling Team of the Millennium, have been announced.
The legendary Tipperary netminder, who passed away last night at the age of 95, will repose at his home in Banagher, Co. Offaly tomorrow from 12 noon until 7pm, followed by removal to the local St. Rynagh's Church, arriving at 8pm.
Requiem Mass will take place at 12 noon on Wednesday, followed by burial in Rathcabbin, Co. Tipperary.
In paying tribute to the three-time All-Ireland winner, Tipperary county board chairman Michael Bourke said: "The name of Tony Reddin will go down in hurling folklore as one of hurling's legends. His achievements list high among the greats not only of his own era, but also of those of modern times. However, his goalkeeping genius which inspired many is as vibrant today, not alone to Tipperary people, but all Gaels in general as we recall the greatness of his unique talent.
"On behalf of Tipperary County Board we extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife Maura, sons Eamon, Dermot and Cathal and daughters Catherine, Jacinta, Majella, Collette, Brenda and Noelle."
