Final prep well underway for hurling semi-final

Tipperary go into the All Ireland series as Munster champions for the first time since 2012 and will take on a Galway team that defeated Cork in the quarter final.

The Tipperary forwards have received much praise this season for performances to date.

Former Tipperary forward Brian O’Meara believes Darren Gleeson’s puck-outs have been very effective for the Premier County in securing possession.
