Tipperary's new team mascot has raised the game for the big match on Sunday

An ancient rivalry is to play this weekend in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final, but a very modern mascot has been chosen by one side going into battle.

Kilkenny are to play Tipperary this Sunday and in Cashel, there was only one woman that could lead their team to glory and that was, of course, the one and only Kim Kardashian.

There may be some who question her commitment to the beautiful sport of hurling, or in fact her geography knowledge of Tipperary and Kilkenny, but with a sassy attitude and a behind to die for, the Tipp team have overlooked these slight shortcomings in favour of her more popular characteristics.
