Tipp look to senior stars for U-21 clash
Full-back Padraig Maher, centre-forward Seamus Callanan and left half-forward Noel McGrath all started in Tipperary’s senior triumph last Sunday, while midfielder Gearóid Ryan was introduced as a second-half substitute.
The other senior players in the U-21 line-up are right half-back Brendan Maher, centre-back Thomas Stapleton, midfielder Seamus Hennessy, right corner-forward Pa Bourke and full-forward Padraig Maher. Tipp boss Declan Carr has named a strong side with 11 survivors from the side that were defeated in last year’s All-Ireland U21 final by Kilkenny, but Thurles Sarsfields defender Michael Cahill is ruled out of the equation due to a hamstring injury.
