Gleeson's grit sees him back on Tipp team

TRIUMPHING over personal adversity, Conor Gleeson has re-gained a starting place on the Tipperary team to meet arch-rivals Cork in tomorrow's Guinness All-Ireland SHC qualifier at Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney.

Gleeson has battled back to full fitness after missing the start of the season with a back injury and takes over the centre half-forward position from the injured Eddie Enright.

This is the only change from the side that defeated Limerick in the last round of qualifiers and manager Ken Hogan will be keeping his fingers crossed that the 28-year-old Boherlahan strongman will inject more power into his forward line.
