Seán Cleere to referee Cork v Tipperary again in Championship opener

Cork captain Seamus Harnedy will come face to face with the referee who has sent him off twice in the last 15 months in Sunday week’s Munster SHC Round 1 game against Tipperary.

Seán Cleere has been appointed for the game in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, the Kilkenny man having dismissed Harnedy in last year’s Division 1A game against Waterford in Páirc Uí Chaoimh and March’s clash with Tipperary in Páirc Uí Rinn.
