Kelly again skippers Tipp with O’Mahony as vice-captain

EOIN KELLY will again captain Tipperary this season as the Premier County look to claim back-to-back All-Ireland senior hurling titles for the first time since 1965.

It has also been revealed last year’s vice-captain, Conor O’Mahony, will assume the same role for the National League and Championship.

O’Mahony is set to lead Tipperary out for the glamour NHL opener against Kilkenny on Saturday, February 12, an eagerly-anticipated floodlit encounter at Semple Stadium.
