Tipperary to prove more than a minor obstacle to Kingdom

THERE is something strange about tomorrow’s Munster MFC final in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

That’s because for the first time in six years it won’t involve old foes Cork and Kerry. However, without of a doubt, Tipperary are deserving finalists and will be worthy opponents for the Kingdom.

This year’s draw ordained that Kerry and Cork would meet at the semi-final stage provided they won their opening rounds. They duly did and then produced a marvellous semi-final in Páirc Uí Rinn which Kerry won by two points.
