Tipperary came from the dead to slay Galway in a quite remarkable All-Ireland senior hurling championship qualifier at Semple Stadium this evening.

Tipperary’s former All-Ireland winning manager Liam Sheedy has warned that inter-county careers are on the line ahead of the crunch qualifier with Kilkenny or Galway on Saturday week.

Limerick chairman Oliver Mann has slammed the Munster Council’s decision to stage the provincial hurling decider at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on July 13.

Michael Shields has been appointed captain of the Cork footballers.

Reigning Munster and All-Ireland champions Tipperary can call upon just three starters from last year’s All-Ireland final replay win over Dublin as they begin their Munster MHC campaign with a quarter-final against Waterford at Walsh Park tonight (throw-in 7pm).
