Henry Shefflin has named the same team that started their 0-27 to 0-21 victory over Dublin in Pearse Stadium. 

Included in the matchday squad is Donal O’Shea. The son of former Tipperary manager Eamon, he was crowned minor hurler of the year in 2018 after leading the Tribesmen to All-Ireland glory and has been a star in the Galway U20 attack over the past two seasons.
