Before this game last night, the Tipperary seniors did their last hard training session for the Wexford match before arriving into Semple Stadium in their training gear.

In this first hurling final in Páirc Uí Chaoimh Nua, Imokilly were the better side and deserved their win, says Donal O’Grady.

Imokilly manager Fergal Condon says the east Cork divisional side have built up momentum through match practice — tonight’s Cork SHC replay against Sarsfields (Páirc Uí Rinn, 7pm) has them approaching two dozen outings together as a team.
