Tipp have made three changes to the starting line-up for their final round-robin match in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship against Clare.
Donagh Maher is in for Michael Cahill, Cathal Barrett replaces Noel McGrath while Bonner Maher is in at centre forward in place of Bubbles O’Dwyer.
Tipp are refusing to concede defeat ahead of the game in Semple Stadium.
They’ve had a tough run of games – which began with a defeat at the hands of Limerick, and poor first half displays against Cork and Waterford over the last two weekends have left them with just 2 points on the board – second from bottom.
It’s still possible for the Premier to qualify for a Munster final if they beat Clare tomorrow, and then a string of results go their way.
While it seems like a tough ask manager Michael Ryan says they won’t give up.
Throw in is at 2pm and we’ll have live commentary of the game here on Tipp FM in association with Mulcahy Car Sales, Ardcroney, Nenagh and the Husqvarna Sales & Service Centre at Arrabawn, Tyone Mill, Nenagh.
