Three in-a-row hunters looking to salvage some Tipp pride

TIPPERARY bid to salvage something from a miserable hurling season when their U21 side face Cork in tonight’s Erin Munster final at Pairc Uí Chaoimh (7.15pm).

This will be the third consecutive meeting in the decider for these great rivals with Tipperary chasing a hat-tricks of wins.

Their coach Fr. Tom Fogarty is under no illusions about the importance of tonight’s game. “It’s the county’s last chance of winning a bit of silverware, and naturally we would dearly like to win but going down to Cork is never easy, and we’ll have to be at our very best if we are to retain our title.
