Tipp-Cats clash re-fixed for tomorrow night

SATURDAY’s postponed NHL Division One clash tie between Tipperary and Kilkenny is re-fixed for tomorrow night in Semple Stadium, Thurles (8pm).

The repeat of the 2009 All-Ireland SHC final was the most high profile victim of the weather which forced a number of GAA fixtures to be called off including yesterday’s All-Ireland Club SFC semi-final between Corofin and St Gall’s in Parnell Park.

The Thurles showdown was abandoned by referee Barry Kelly after a heavy snow shower hit the area just before the scheduled 7.30pm throw-in. Kelly opted to delay the start time by 10 minutes but there was no let-up in the conditions and he was forced to call to the game off. Both managers backed the referee’s call.
