It’s Munster semi-final day for Thurles Sarsfields and St. Mary’s today.
Thurles Sarsfields venture into the Munster senior club hurling championship for the first time in nine years.
They travel to Ennis to take on Clare winners Inagh-Kilnamona in their semi-final at 1.15pm.
Speaking on Across The Line, hurling analyst Ken Hogan says going to Ennis will focus the Sarsfields players minds:
“In a strange sense, I think going to Ennis could be a good thing for this team because Tipp’s record in Ennis is pretty good in the last number of years and also the fact the lads have a point to prove and I’m just really looking forward to a wonderful game here.”
“It’s a great challenge for Thurles, Paudie will be laying down the challenge for his lads ‘this is it now, come down here to the cauldron and take these guys on and see what we’re about.”
That game will be live here on Tipp FM in association with De Faoite Restaurant at the Arch Bar on Liberty Square, Thurles.
St. Mary’s are in Munster Intermediate club hurling semi-final action at 2pm.
They take on three-in-a-row winning Kerry senior champions Abbeydorney in Austin Stack Park, Tralee at 2pm.
We’ll have live coverage of that game on Tipp FM in association with Pa Moore Car Sales, Clonmel.
