Following on from Tipperary’s monumental victory over Kilkenny in last Sunday’s All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final, spirits remain high across the Premier County.
However, attention has quickly shifted to the impending face-off against Cork to decide the winner of this year’s championship.
Cork are considered the favourites of the two teams heading into the final, having beaten Tipperary already in a final this year, when they clinched the Allianz League title back in April.
A penalty shootout victory over Limerick in the Munster Championship final further goes to steady the odds in their favour.
This meeting of the two Munster giants will be the first time the sides will ever meet in an All-Ireland hurling final.
Tipperary head into the final looking to add a 29th title to their name, and increase their record of having won an All-Ireland title in every decade since the formation of the GAA, while Cork are looking to end the longest title drought in their history, which extends back to 2005.
The match will take place on Sunday, July 20, in Croke Park.
The game is scheduled for throw-in at 3:30pm.
