Embattled Tipp’s greater need will see them home

Three derby games in the league this weekend. In Ennis we have Clare and Galway, in Dungarvan it’s Cork and Waterford, and in Semple Stadium Tipperary face Kilkenny.

Embattled Tipp’s greater need will see them home

Tipperary people like to call Thurles the home of hurling but I think even they now have to admit, the centre may have shifted a few miles east! I would love to see all three of those games but unfortunately I haven’t managed to master tri-location so am headed for Thurles. Is it the biggest game of the weekend? I think so, but we’ll know better after tomorrow.

Still, you’d wonder — surely it could be arranged so that hurling fans could see all three games? There are floodlights in Semple Stadium, that could be on Friday evening, then either of the other games on Saturday afternoon, the other on Sunday.
