Shane Hynes of Galway will be the man in charge at UPMC Nowlan Park, in what will be a familiar figure to some Tipperary supporters as Hynes was the man in the middle when the Premier's minor hurlers defeated Offaly in the 2022 All-Ireland final - also in Kilkenny.

Brendan Cummins' side will be hoping to go one better in this final after losing out in last year's decider to Offaly in the same venue.

The game will be shown live on TG4 on Saturday afternoon, with a throw-in at 3pm.
