Return of ace Kelly timely boost for Tipperary

A HUGE boost for the Munster hurling champions as Eoin Kelly makes his first appearance of the year for Tipperary in Sunday’s championship clash with Cork at Semple Stadium.

Kelly lines out at left corner forward in a team that shows just two changes in personnel from the team that ran Kilkenny so close in the NHL final.

Conor O’Mahony also returns after missing the latter stages of the league through illness. Kelly and O’Mahony replace Thomas Stapleton and injured left half back Shane Maher.
