 Thurles CBS will be seriously looking for a two in a row Dr Harty Cup hurling final victory this weekend, when they take on Ardscoil Ris Limerick in the 2010 competition’s final decider.
Tipp students from the CBS should be favourites going into this final, but they will be casting a very wary eye on their Treaty opponents.
Ardscoil Ris have greatly improved in recent years and scored a very convincing win in their recent semi-final against St Caimin’s, Shannon.
Here’s hoping Michael O’Brien and company are up to showing their usual inspirational form.
The two teams will meet in the Munster A Senior Colleges final this Sunday at Nenagh, with the throw-in scheduled for 3.00pm.
 Tipperary have named a strong side to face Dublin in next Sunday’s NHL match in Parnell Park.
A couple of changes have been made from the side named to play Kilkenny in the teams scheduled for Thurles last Saturday and Tuesday, both of which were postponed due to snow.
Brendan Cummins is rested and Darren Gleeson replaces him in goal. Declan Fanning makes way for the return of Conor O’Mahony in the half-back line and Tipp All Star, Lar Corbett, comes in at left corner forward for Micheál Webster with Eoin Kelly moving to full forward.
NAMED TIPPERARY TEAM:
D Gleeson; C O’Brien, P Curran, B Maher; P Maher, C O’Mahony, S maher; B Dunne, S McGrath; S Hennessy, S Callanan, H Maloney; N McGrath, E Kelly, L Corbett.
National Hurling League Division One clash between Tipp and Kilkenny, which was postponed on Tuesday night for a second time, has been re-fixed for Sunday March 7th at Semple Stadium in Thurles, with a 2.30pm throw-in.
The much awaited game fell victim to snow on two recent occasions this month, much to the annoyance of fans, as the wintry weather returned with a vengence, leaving referee Barry Kelly with no choice but to cancel both matches.
The new date will mean a free weekend for the NHL, and both sides will now be in action for six straight weekends in a row.
 Saturday’s Allianz Hurling League, Division One, clash between Tipperary and Kilkenny postponed due to snow on Saturday night last has now been re-fixed for Tuesday night (8.00pm) in Semple Stadium.
This postponed clash was the most high profile victim of the weekend weather which forced a number of GAA fixtures to be called off.
Kilkenny manager Brian Cody has named an unchanged side for this re-fixture.
The counties agreed to the re-fixture within minutes of the decision to call off Saturday night’s game and it means that they will both face two games in six days with Tipperary to play Dublin next Sunday while Kilkenny will take on Offaly.
This is the second successive year that Kilkenny’s first league game of the season has fallen victim to snow. They were on their way to Pearse Stadium to play Galway last year when road conditions forced them to abandon the journey.
The GAA has confirmed that tomorrow night’s rescheduled Allianz Hurling League fixture between both counties at Semple Stadium, will be free of charge to all comers, following their failure to make refunds to patrons on Saturday night last.
Tipperary and Kilkenny will contest Round 1 of the Allianz GAA Hurling National League on Saturday evening next, February 20th, at 7:30pm in Semple Stadium Thurles.
This Division One game is a much-anticipated curtain raiser for the league as Tipperary and Kilkenny renew old acquaintances under the floodlights of Semple Stadium this Saturday.
Having lost out to the Cats in the finals of both League and All-Ireland championship last year, Tipp will be keen to lay down a marker for the 2010 season.
The game will be shown live on Setanta Ireland and will be refereed by Barry Kelly.
