The county senior hurling champions take on Clare’s Inagh-Kilnamona on Sunday in the Munster senior club hurling semi-final.
Sarsfields’ centre back Conor Stakelum suffered an ankle injury during a challenge game against Kilcormac-Killoughy in recent weeks.
Speaking on Extra-Time, sports reporter and Thurles native Noel Dundon says the Tipperary senior hurler is in a race to be fit for Sunday.
“Conor Stakelum picked up an ankle injury in that challenge game against Kilcormac-Killoughy and was in a boot there for some time so they will be sweating on him and hoping that he can come through.
“Conor has been a revelation since he went back centre back to replace Ronan really when Ronan got injured and Conor has been a revelation there.
“He’s captain of the team but he’s the real heartbeat of the team as well so hopefully he will be ok but it’s not ideal preparation for anybody to be going into a game carrying any knock like that.”
Sunday’s game at 1.15pm in Ennis will be live here on Tipp FM with De Faoite Restaurant at the Arch Bar on Liberty Square, Thurles.
