Tipperary All-Ireland winners to feature in live club hurling action on TV next weekend

TG4 will provide coverage of JK Brackens against Loughmore-Castleiney.

TIPPERARY ALL-IRELAND hurling winners will be in the spotlight next Sunday afternoon as TG4′s club championship coverage continues.

The Tipperary senior hurling game between JK Brackens and Loughmore-Castleiney will be televised live on Sunday afternoon, with a 2.30pm throw-in at Templetuohy for the Group 3 championship tie.

The match will pit Andrew Ormond, one of the breakout stars for Tipperary this season, in action for JK Brackens against a Loughmore-Castleiney side spearheaded by his county team-mates John, Noel, and Brian McGrath.

Ormond fired 0-2 in Tipperary’s sensational performance last month that secured the Liam MacCarthy Cup with a defeat of Cork, while full-forward John McGrath struck 2-2 and older brother Noel added a point after coming off the bench.
