Connolly’s Loughmore-Castleiney colleague Noel McGrath, who underwent surgery for testicular cancer earlier this year, oversaw the video tribute from the club:
Connolly has represented his club and county at all grades of hurling and football, and captained Tipperary to the All-Ireland intermediate hurling title in 2012.
In late 2013, he was diagnosed with brain cancer and since then, he has been bravely and courageously battling to overcome his illness.
