Dunne and Carroll get thumbs up from Tipp

Tipperary hurling duo Tommy Dunne and John Carroll have been given the green light to take part in Sunday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final tie with Kilkenny and boss Michael Doyle is expected to name the pair tonight.

Both players suffered injuries in the quarter-final win over Offaly but both are reportedly fully fit in a real boost to the Premier County ahead of the clash with the All-Ireland champions, their third this year.
