Tipperary hurling team to face Dublin in Croke Park this Saturday named

The Tipperary team to face Dublin in round three of the National Hurling League in Croke Park next Saturday evening has been announced and shows seven changes to the team who beat Kilkenny in the previous round.

Fresh after captaining the University of Limerick to back to back Fitzgibbon Cup titles last weekend, Bryan O'Mara comes back into the team, albeit in a new position at full back, with Michael Breen named to start at wing back.

Brian McGrath also returns after having a minor injury cleared up, along with Conor Stakelum, Gearoid O'Connor, Seamus Kennedy, and Mark Kehoe; the latter rewarded after a very good outing in the Dillon Quirke Foundation challenge game.

Conor McCarthy makes his first league start while there is a new face on the bench also for Tipperary, as St Mary's goalkeeper Enda Dunphy coming in to replace Rhys Shelly who is still out with an injury.

The game throws in at 5pm in Croke Park this Saturday evening. See full starting team and panel below.
