Corcoran and McGrath concerns for Tipp

Tipperary are monitoring the fitness of wing back Eamonn Corcoran and midfielder Shane McGrath ahead of Sunday's second Munster SHC semi-final replay against Limerick (Gaelic Grounds, throw-in 3.30pm).

JK Brackens clubman Corcoran injured his groin during last weekend's drawn game between the sides at Semple Stadium, while McGrath, who hails from the Ballinahinch club, sustained bruising to his chest.

Tipp manager Babs Keating has delayed his team announcement until the condition of both players becomes clearer.

Meanwhile, statuesque forward Micheal Webster injured his hamstring in action for his club Loughmore-Castleiney on Sunday night. Webster came on as a substitute in the 1-19 to 1-19 draw between Tipp and Limerick on June 10.

Three-time All-star goalkeeper Brendan Cummins, who was surprisingly dropped for last Saturday's first replay with Limerick, is also nursing a hamstring injury, meaning young gun Gerry Kennedy seems certain to don the number 1 jersey again this Sunday.

Kennedy stepped in for the vastly-experienced Cummins last Saturday night, amid rumours of a fall-out between the Ballybacon-Grange stopper and Keating.

Kennedy, Tipp's Under-21 'keeper last year, impressed on his championship debut last weekend, saving a first-half penalty and offering a good deal of accuracy with his puck-outs.
