Fit-again O’Mahony to skipper Premier in final skirmish with Cats

CONOR O’MAHONY is set to captain Tipperary in Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC final against Kilkenny at Croke Park.

As a precautionary measure, the Newport star had his training curtailed last week due to a dead leg. However, the centre-back is fit again and will definitely be named in the Tipp side to be announced tomorrow night.

O’Mahony was not the original choice as captain, as county champions Toomevara nominated Willie Ryan, but when he failed to nail down a regular place, O’Mahony took over.
