Tipp boss will name team tonight

Tipperary senior hurling boss Nicky English will name his team to play Offaly in Saturday's All-Ireland play off in Portlaoise following a squad training session in Portlaoise this evening.

Attackers Eoin Kelly and Lar Corbett came through last night's U-21 game against Waterford unscathed with Corbett grabbing a goal five minutes from time to send Tipp on the road to victory.

However, doubt still surrounds the availability of centre forward Conor Gleeson, who has been having intensive treatment on a dead leg since the Munster Final.

And, Brian O'Meara too has been having treatment for a wrist injury but is expected to be fit for action.

Meanwhile goalkeeper Brendan Cummins is expected to take his place between the sticks despite playing in the Munster senior football final on Sunday against Cork in Semple Stadium.
