Match Preview

Saturday May 25

TG4 Munster IFC – Tipperary v Clare; Sean Treacy Park, Tipperary Town (2.0).

Tipperary served notice of their Championship intentions with a massive Round 1 victory over Limerick at Semple Stadium.

The Premier County can now seal a place in the provincial decider when they welcome Clare to Sean Treacy Park in Tipperary town on Saturday (2.0).

Aishling Moloney was in sensational form for Tipp in their first outing, and she’s a player that the Banner County defence will have to keep a close eye on.

Tipp were relegated from the Senior grade last year but are targeting a swift return to the elite championship ranks.

They’re many people’s favourites to land the TG4 Munster and All-Ireland crowns – but Clare have presented stiff opposition to Tipperary through the years.

A very capable outfit in their own right, Clare will look to the leadership qualities of Laurie Ryan and the firepower of Niamh O’Dea as they look to spring a surprise.

Clare also arrive in Tipperary with the knowledge that even if they come up short in this one, they have another chance to claim a Munster Final slot when they face Limerick in Round 3.
