Limerick 2-09 Clare 0-06, Ennis

WITH ace forward Eoin Kelly passed fit following a back injury, Tipperary have named nine of the side that started against Kilkenny in last season’s All-Ireland final for tomorrow night’s opening Allianz NHL game against the champions under lights at Semple Stadium, Thurles.

TIPPERARY GAA officials are confident that irrespective of the entertainment value of tonight’s Allianz NHL game between Tipperary and Cork, the official switching-on of the new floodlighting system in Thurles will not overshadow the special occasion.
