Tipperary vs Cork - The aristocrats meet

Premier Emperor · March 29, 2012, 08:44:47 PM

One of the greatest spectacles in sport will take place in Tom Semple's field Stadium on Sunday.
Both teams will be well up for this game. Cork are have upped it under Jimmy Barry this year and will be hard bet. Their win over Kilkenny will spur them on.

Tipperary have a long list of missing players, I don't think Paul Curran and Conor O'Mahony will start, but home advantage should swing it for us.

Tipp by 3!

Was some game to be fair. Draw probably the fair result as neither team deserved to lose.

Cork have made a few strange changes for this one. I see Lehane has been dropped. Am I missing something? I'd have thought he was the player of the League so far.

Two meetings in as many months
I'd expect a load of repetitive strain injuries from supporters from both counties tipping their caps to each other.

I would think it's because he struggled marking Padraic Maher the last time they played. If that's it I think it's the wrong decision because he'll only improve playing against players like Maher.
