Doyle delays naming Tipp team

Tipperary manager Michael Doyle had to abandon plans to name his side to play Clare in the crucial NHL game at Ennis on Sunday.

Tipperary need to win to clinch a place in the final, but at training tonight Doyle had eight players either injured or unavailable for the tie.

Eamonn Corcoran is suspended. John Carroll (back) and Brian O’Meara (broken toes) are definitely out of the reckoning.

Also nursing injuries are Brian Horgan and Noel Morris with calf strains, and Eoin Brislane and Colin Morrissey with broken fingers.
