Kellys to miss final clash with Cats

TIPPERARY duo Eoin and Paul Kelly are both ruled out of Sunday’s Allianz NHL final clash with Kilkenny.

Five-time Allstar Eoin has yet to feature this year because of a back injury while older brother Paul has not recovered from a hamstring injury.

Defenders Paul Curran and Shane Maher remain injury doubts along with attacker Gearóid Ryan. On the plus side Hugh Maloney, Pat Kerwick and Darragh Egan are all set to come back into the frame. Kilkenny Allstar duo Noel Hickey and James ‘Cha’ Fitzpatrick both came through club fixtures at the weekend unscathed.
