Preview
All roads lead to Páirc Uí Rinn this Saturday evening, June 10th, as Tipperary travel to play Cork in the Munster Senior Football Championship Semi-Final with a 5pm throw-in.
This latest renewal of recent rivalry evokes terrific memories of a fantastic day last year when the Tipperary footballers catapulted themselves into the spotlight with a famous 3-15 to 2-16 victory over the Rebels in Semple Stadium. From there on their open and attractive brand of football earned the plaudits of many throughout the season and has influenced other counties in adopting a similar approach this year.
However, Cork will be far more alert this time of asking and will be very much aware of the Premier threat and will be more than willing to put a dent in Tipperary’s ambition of reaching the final for a second successive year. Of course another factor hopefully playing in the Cork mind-set will be the prospect of possibly playing the Munster Final should they win in the soon to be unveiled Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
That will be the furthest thought on Tipperary minds as the primary focus will be on winning first and building on the league success earlier in April. The time for asking questions can come later in relation to the next game and venue.
We send best wishes to the side captained by Brian Fox (Éire Óg Annacarty-Donohill) and their management team of Liam Kearns, Shane Stapleton and Paul Fitzgerald.
The referee will be Ciaran Branagan (Down).
