Tipp have greater strength in depth

TIPPERARY and Cork renew acquaintances at Semple Stadium this evening for the opening game of the Munster U21 championship.

A number of players from both sides were involved in Sunday’s senior clash and the proximity of the matches has posed complications for the two management teams.

“It has been difficult,” admits Tipperary selector Ken Hogan. “We had five players involved in some shape or form on Sunday. But we’ve worked away and got the whole panel together a few Wednesday nights. The senior lads are very genuine and mature, and they were in on Monday with us in training.”
