Brian Fox: We’re going up there to win

Tipp football boss Liam Kearns is sweating on the availability of young star Emmet Moloney for tomorrow’s winner-takes-all Division 3 promotion shoot-out with Armagh at the Athletic Grounds.

It is understood that team management requested a postponement of the Mid U21 A football final between Moloney’s club Drom & Inch and JK Brackens – but that request was rejected.

The game went ahead last night in Templetuohy, but the South U21 final has been postponed due to a bereavement in the Clonmel Commercials camp. That game, against Moyle Rovers, was fixed for tomorrow morning and would have left Commercials player Jack Kennedy facing a potential choice between club and county. Kennedy has made a big impact with the senior team this year and is expected to feature in the pivotal Armagh game.
