Tipp aim to beard lion in own den

ROLL out the barricades, the Tippmen are coming, and this time, they mean business.

Last year, All-Ireland qualifiers, both of them using the tradesmen entrance, Cork overcame a game but tame Tipp in Killarney and went on to win the All-Ireland. This year they meet again, but in vastly-changed circumstances.

Three week's time, June 26, Tipp will come crashing through the front door, attempt to beard the lion in his own den. The Munster final take Cork in Cork that's their reward for knocking out Clare in a rain-fest in the Gaelic Grounds yesterday.
