Tipperary SHC 

Tipperary senior hurling champions last year, Kilruane McDonaghs are facing into a relegation battle to preserve their senior status following a third defeat in group two, losing 1-23 to 1-21 to Moycarkey-Borris at Dolla. Moycarkey had the fresh breeze behind them in the first half and were leading 0-7 to 0-5 when Kian O Kelly netted for Kilruane after 12 minutes. However, on the stroke of half-time Kyle Shelley goaled for Moycarkey for an interval advantage of 1-15 to 1-9. The sides were level 1-20 each after 53 minutes but Kilruane then had four points on the trot and looked winners. Moycarkey, however, rallied to win by two points in an exciting finish. Though it was not enough to secure a quarter-final spot.
