Kerry defender Eric Leen says they'll embrace the opportunity to play Tipperary in a Munster SHC promotion/relegation play-off if they win the Joe McDonagh Cup final.

Antrim will gain automatic promotion to next year's Leinster championship if they beat the Kingdom on Saturday though in the event of a Kerry win, they'd have to overcome the lowest ranked Munster county, Tipp, in a play-off to be upgraded for 2023.
