Two semi-final spots will be decided today in the county senior hurling championship.
First up, at 3.30pm in Semple Stadium, Loughmore/Castleieny take on Roscrea.
That game is followed by Kiladangan’s meeting with Holycross/Ballycahill at 5.15pm, also in Semple Stadium.
Whilst the knockout stages will be new territory for a young Holycross team today, an experienced Kiladanagn will be aiming to reach a fifth straight semi-final.
Enda Treacy from the Tipperary Star says despite losing their last two group games, Holycross are a club going in the right direction:
“It’s hard to look past Kiladangan.
“Holycross will be disappointed with the way they have qualified.
“It’s great that they are there and they haven’t been there in a long time and they’ll be delighted to be at this stage but they didn’t play well against Templederry the last day and only by the luck of the new format for qualifying teams on the same points they mightn’t have gtten through.
“It’s progress all the same, there is a lot of young players coming through with the club and they’ll be trying to phase them in and build a team over the next few years.”
Tipp FM will have live commentary of both of those games this afternoon with thanks to Tipperary ETB.
Meanwhile, in the premier intermediate hurling championship today, one quarter-final is down for decision.
It’s in Borrisoleigh at 3pm where Burgess take on Thurles Sarsfields.
