Tipp unchanged for Munster decider
Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy has named an unchanged team for Sunday's Munster SHC final showdown with Waterford at Semple Stadium (throw-in 4pm).
Sheedy has given a vote of confidence to the side that started the recent semi-final win over Clare, but there are a number of positional switches in attack.
John O'Brien moves to left half-forward, Eoin Kelly takes the full-forward berth and Noel McGrath and Lar Corbett have been named in the corners.
The 18-year-old McGrath from Loughmore-Castleiney has impressed so far in his debut Championship campaign, scoring 0-10 in the wins over Cork and Clare.
Newport clubman Conor O'Mahony will captain the Tipp side once again from centre-back this weekend, as the Premier county look to avenge last year's 1-20 to 1-18 All-Ireland semi-final loss to Waterford.
Notably, full-back Paul Curran will start the Munster final, continuing his run as the only player to have started every one of Tipperary's League and Championship games this year. Sunday's game will mark his 11th start.
TIPPERARY (SHC v Waterford) - B Cummins; P Stapleton, P Curran, C O'Brien; D Fanning, C O'Mahony (capt), P Maher; J Woodlock, S McGrath; P Kerwick, S Callanan, J O'Brien; N McGrath, E Kelly, L Corbett.
