Tipperary team to face Kilkenny named ahead of final group game of 2026 league campaign

Tipperary's hurlers will host Kilkenny in Thurles on Saturday afternoon next

Liam Cahill has named his final Tipperary team for the 2026 Allianz National Hurling League, with a strong flavour to the outfit welcoming Kilkenny to FBD Semple Stadium.

After a strong second-half showing against Waterford in the last round, a win that secured Division 1A action for 2027, Cahill has made numerous changes to his side for this one.

There is a return to the fold for Alan Tynan who is named at centre forward, along with Brian McGrath, who will both make their first league appearances of the year.

Sam O’Farrell returns too after an hiatus while there are starts also for Conor Martin and Darragh Stakelum at midfield.
