The Tipperary Senior Hurling Team to play Limerick has been named by Liam Sheedy and his management team
The game takes place in the LIT Gaelic Grounds with a 5.30pm throw in and sees Liam Sheedy’s charges taking on the reigning league and All Ireland Champions Limerick. And although our loyal supporters will be unable to attend the game, you can watch all the action live on RTE Sport & Eir Sport or listen to the game on Tipp FM with commentary from Stephen Gleeson and Ken Hogan. The players have been preparing diligently and are all looking forward to getting back on the field and representing their county with pride. Lead by Captain Seamus Callanan and Vice-Captain Noel McGrath they will be hoping that tomorrow’s game will be the start of another memorable year for The Premier County.
