A chance the Premier must take

ALLIANZ HL DIVISION 1 FINAL

Muiris Walsh? Proud Clonmel man domiciled in Ballymacarbry. Used to present a Monday evening sports show on Tipp FM. He hasn’t been in the best of health lately but Manchester United’s latest title lifted his spirits and he’s hoping a victory for the visitors at Nowlan Park tomorrow will do likewise.

The 2003 league final? You’ll remember it because you can’t not. Held in Croke Park on the Monday of the bank holiday Tipperary led by eight points at the three-quarter stage. Kilkenny caught them on the line and beat them by 5-14 to 5-13 after extra time, with Henry Shefflin, a more than decent minor footballer in his day, kicking the winning point.
