Galaxy of stars ready to shine

EVEN if it wasn't a case of there being little else on the sporting front, for hurling fans throughout Munster and Leinster, tomorrow's meeting of Toomevara and Mount Sion in the Munster Club hurling final is a must-see event.

Two top-class sides, both back-boned by a plethora of inter-county stars, both powerhouses inside their own counties for several years and both very experienced at this level of competition.

From the Tipperary and Waterford panels that met in this year's Munster championship (a game won by Waterford), Toomevara have 'keeper Justin Cottrell, brothers Tommy, Benny and Kenny Dunne and team captain Paddy O'Brien, while Mount Sion are even more impressively represented, with Ken and Eoin McGrath, Tony Browne and Eoin Kelly from the starting Waterford side and 'keeper Ian O'Regan and goal-scoring corner-forward Sean Ryan from the subs.
