Tipp go with same again for decider

Tipperary are unchanged for Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC final against Kilkenny.


The Premier County are set to face off against the Cats in a repeat of last year’s final when they were edged late on by Brian Cody’s men.

They have overcome a Championship-opening defeat to Cork to get this far and Liam Sheedy has now selected the same fifteen men who started the semi-final victory over Waterford.

That means that Paddy Stapleton, Paul Curran and Michael Cahill will start in the full back line ahead of Brendan Cummins, with Declan Fanning, Conor O’Mahony and Padraic Maher making up the back seven.

Shane McGrath starts in midfield where he ruled the roost against the Deise. He is partnered by Brendan Maher, with Gearoid Ryan, Patrick Maher and John O’Brien start in the half forward line.

That trio will support Noel McGrath, captain Eoin Kelly and Lar Corbett, who will look to get at the Cats full back line from the off.

Tipperary: B Cummins; P Stapleton, P Curran, M Cahill; D Fanning, C O’Mahony, P Maher; B Maher, S McGrath; G Ryan, P Maher, J O’Brien; N McGrath, E Kelly, L Corbett.
