Munster and Tipperary senior hurling champions Borris-Ileigh have been grouped with neighbours, Toomevara, and Upperchurch-Drombane for the round-robin series of the Tipperary senior hurling championship.

However the Group C line-up of Kilruane MacDonaghs, Loughmore-Castleiney, Thurles Sarsfields and Moycarkey-Borris would be considered the group of death from last night's draw.
