Cork and Tipp face off in Killarney

Cork and Tipperary renew rivalries in the Guinness All-Ireland hurling championship qualifiers at Killarney today - the first time in 17 years that Fitzgerald Stadium has hosted a hurling championship clash.

Both sides badly need a win, Cork having relinquished their Munster crown to Waterford, and Tipperary having failed to impress in general - beaten by the Decies in the championship and doing just about enough to defeat Limerick in the last round of the qualifiers.
