It’s just hurling on the inter-county agenda today, but we’ve got a few very interesting games on the cards. The main event is in Pairc Ui Rinn where, after a late pitch inspection, the Division 1A clash between Cork and Tipperary goes ahead.
Wexford v Kilkenny (1A) and Waterford v Galway (1B) also throw in at 2pm, as does the 1B relegation play-off between Offaly and Carlow in Bord na Mona O’Connor Park.
We’ll also be keeping an eye on the Division 2A final between Westmeath and Kerry.
