Thurles hoping to reach Plate final

The Mid Tipp club host Mallow in a match with a dual purpose – it's a Munster Junior League Division 2 fixture and also doubles up as the semi-final of the Munster Junior Plate.

Kick-off in Loughtagalla is at 2.30pm.

In the top flight of the provincial competition champions Clonmel go to Tipperary Town to meet Clanwilliam and Kilfeacle travel to take on St Senan's at Jim Slattery Park.

Thurles women's team have – like their male counterparts – a big match to play later.

They're up against Rathdrum of Wicklow in the semi-final of the AIL Plate at 1 o'clock.
