We have a very special video to show you today. This video was made at the HQ Nightclub, Thurles on Sunday 12th July 2009, the day Tipperary won the Munster Hurling Final in Semple Stadium.

As you can see, loads of people are wearing their blue and yellow Tipperary jerseys. It was a triple celebration, really, because not only did Tipperary win the Munster Hurling Final that day, but as everybody knows,  the GAA was originally founded in Thurles and the GAA is also celebrating its 125th year, this year!

The music is by Brazilian based DJ/Producer called Lead Of Strings and the tune is called Moments Of Eternity and it is pretty awesome stuff. The song can be downloaded for free from the Dance-Industries.com website which is a showcase site for new/up-and-coming musicians.

We hope you enjoyed this video, maybe you are even in it!
