Dual star! Tipp senior footballer Keane named in U21 hurling team for tomorrow's Munster final

Busy times ahead for the Golden-Kilfeacle club man.

TIPPERARY SENIOR FOOTBALLER Josh Keane is in the midst of one of the biggest weeks of his GAA career.

Last Saturday, Keane struck 0-2 in Kingspan Breffni Park as Tipperary’s senior football side defeated Derry in their Round 4A qualifier.

Tomorrow night, he’s been named at right half-forward for the Tipperary team that will meet Waterford in the Bord Gáis Energy Munster U21 hurling final in Walsh Park.

And if he emerges unscathed from tomorrow’s game, next Sunday Keane will be part of the Tipperary squad that will take on Galway in the All-Ireland senior football quarter-final in Croke Park.

Tipperary boss William Maher has made one change for tomorrow night’s U21 showdown against the Deise.

Jason Ryan comes into the team to be named at right half-back as Jack Shelly is ruled out through injury.

The Toomevara player struck 0-2 when introduced off the bench during the semi-final win over Limerick and lines up alongside senior player and captain Ronan Maher in the half-back line.
