Amanda Stapleton match shows bond between old foes

The response of Kilkenny’s hurlers to this evening’s Amanda Stapleton benefit match in Borrisoleigh underlines the bond the county’s great modern rivalry with Tipperary created between the teams, says Amanda’s brother Shane.

The Stapleton family is overwhelmed by the backing and interest created by the event, which is set to draw the biggest ever crowd to the north Tipperary village.
