Decision over McCarthy and O'Farrell made as Tipp U20 team is named for Clare clash
Tipperary's U20 hurlers will play Clare in Sixmilebridge on Wednesday
After much gossip around Tipperary in the last fortnight, the decision has been made as Darragh McCarthy and Sam O'Farrell have both been named to start for the Tipperary U20 hurlers against Clare on Wednesday night.
With the senior game near this round 3 Munster Championship clash, there was speculation that the pair may be held in reserve for the Limerick game on Easter Sunday to have them fully rested and ready for action.
Regardless of what was going on in discussions in the background, the pair will indeed start for Brendan Cummins' team in their crucial game in Sixmilebridge, where a win will be essential to continue their hunt for back-to-back Munster U20 crowns.
The same team that defeated Cork will start with Cormac Fitzpatrick and Jack Hayes coming onto the subs bench in place of Stefan Tobin and Evan Morris.
