No U25 clash before Cork v Tipperary

The Munster SHC quarter-final at Semple Stadium will be a standalone fixture.

The Munster SHC quarter-final between Cork and Tipperary at Semple Stadium on Sunday week will be a standalone fixture after the decision by both counties not to field an U25 team, writes Eoghan Cormican.

The U25 competition has taken the place of the intermediate championship and while Cork had planned to field an intermediate team, when it became the U25 competition, they decided to pull the plug on their involvement.
