GAA: Tipp and Clare do battle in Cork

Tipperary and Clare face off today in their eagerly-anticipated hurling clash - with a place in the Munster Final at stake.

The sides met twice in 1997; twice again, in 99; again, in 2000 and most recently in the Allianz NHL final four weeks ago.

Tipp emerged victorious that day - but with Cork now out of the Munster race, both sides will fancy their chances of defeating Limerick or Waterford in the Munster Final.

Clare: D Fitzgerald, B Quinn, B Lohan, F Lohan, D Hoey, S McMahon, G Quinn, O Baker, C Lynch, T Carmody, J O'Connor, A Markham, D Forde, N Gilligan, B Murphy.

Tipperary: B Cummins, T Costello, P Maher, P Ormonde, J Carroll, E Corcoran, P Kelly, T Dunne, C Gleeson, M O'Leary, E Enright, B O'Meara, E Kelly, D Ryan, L Corbett.
