Tipp boss Kearns says schedule ‘not ideal’

If the Premier reach the Division 3 final they'll end up playing on five successive weekends.

Their programme has been further complicated by the postponment of the game with Longford last Sunday, which will now take place this Saturday evening.

While the Tipp boss isn't convinced of the sense of what might be looming ahead he says he's not looking beyond the clash with the Leinster county at this stage.

Tipp FM's coverage of Tipperary V Longford gets underway at 4.50 on Saturday and will be brought to you in association with Cleary Motors Renault, Thurles.

We'll also have live commentary on Tipperary V Kilkenny in Division 1A of the Allianz National Hurling League on Saturday evening from 6.50.  Our coverage is with thanks to Donal Ryan Motor Group – Nenagh, Thurles and Roscrea and Arrabawn Store, Tyone, Nenagh.
