Jason Forde insists he won’t be fazed by the prospect of making his full U-21 championship debut for Tipperary in a Munster final tonight.

IT TOOK more than 80 minutes of spellbinding action before Limerick grasped the provincial U21 hurling trophy for the sixth time after a sensational Bord Gáis Energy Munster decider before 8,536 supporters in the Gaelic Grounds last night.

FOR the second year running extra-time was necessary to facilitate an outcome to a Bord Gáis Energy Munster U21HC tie between Tipperary and Cork last night in Páirc Ui Chaoimh, and once again it was Tipperary who prevailed in this semi-final after a marathon battle.
