O'Meara faces race against time to be fit

Tipperary senior hurling captain Brian O'Meara faces a race against time to be fit for the Premier County's clash with Limerick in the Allianz National Hurling league tie on the weekend after next.

O'Meara was forced to retire from Tipp's comprehensive win over Offaly on Sunday last in Nenagh with double vision having taken a nasty accidental blow to the face.
