Tipp unhappy with déjà vu clash with Clare

TIPPERARY senior football coach Tom McGlinchey is none too pleased at having to play Clare in the McGrath Cup final next Sunday.

“It’s only seven days before the counties meet in the opening round of the National League, and playing the same county on successive Sundays isn’t an ideal situation,” said McGlinchey.

Defending champions Clare will have home advantage for Sunday’s final. The game has been fixed for Milltown-Malbay with a 2 pm throw-in. Ger Haugh (Limerick) is the referee.
