Ormonde returns to Tipp squad

Tipperary defender Paul Ormonde has re-joined the senior hurling squad after a lengthy lay-off due to injury.

Ormonde is hoping to play competitively with the Premier County for the first time since Tipp's defeat at the hands of Kilkenny in the All-Ireland semi-final of 2002 following a lay-off which saw him miss all inter-county action last year.
