TIPPERARY HAVE BROUGHT Martin Dunne and Brian Fox into their side for Saturday’s All-Ireland qualifier Round 3B clash against Tyrone in Thurles.

Manager Peter Creedon has made two changes from the team that crushed Louth last Saturday.

Fox came on as a sub in that game and is named at half-forward while Dunne, who featured for the Tipperary junior side earlier this summer, is a notable inclusion at midfield alongside Colin O’Riordan.
