'The fact we're playing Tipperary adds to it' Kilkenny boss on a classic rivalry
The Kilkenny-Tipperary rivalry was one that Derek Lyng grew up hearing about rather than really experiencing. Coming from Urlingford, just a couple of kilometres from the border with Tipp, the neighbours were in the midst of a lengthy struggle to break out of Munster when Lyng was born and, with no back door system at the time, they went 20 years without meeting in the Championship. That run was broken in 1991, when they paired off in the All-Ireland final and a 13-year-old Lyng watched from the Hogan Stand as Tipp scored a four-point win. 'They would have played in League matches around that time,' recalls the Kilkenny boss. 'I remember there was always a good crowd that would turn up for Kilkenny-Tipperary. They never got to meet in the Championship around those years. 'I really enjoyed going to those games and obviously, 1991 was not the result Kilkenny were looking for but it was still a match I would have looked over and over. I would have idolised a lot of those players that would have played for Kilkenny in '91. 'They went on and won in '92 and '93 but didn't get to play for Tipperary again until 2002 so there was a big gap there. 'I suppose when you're growing up on the border, you have people from Tipperary and Kilkenny mixing, be it in school or even on your club team. It was always a little bit more important but it was good though. Really enjoyable. I think it adds to it.' That 2002 game that Lyng referenced was an All-Ireland semi-final in what was his breakout season as a Kilkenny player. They scored a four-point win, their first over them in the Championship for 35 years, en route to the title. 'There was a massive build-up. Tipperary were All-Ireland champions at the time as well in '02. We had a new-ish team at the time so it was an exciting time to be part of that team. Playing Tipperary in a packed Croke Park Park. It was a fantastic experience.' After just three Championship meetings between 1971 and 2009, there were nine from 2009-19, along with four League final clashes in that period. The 2009 All-Ireland final is, for many, the greatest game ever played, but there were any number of classics in that era, several of them regulation League games in the spring. At a time when short puckouts, sweepers and all kinds of tactical innovations were taking hold in hurling, Kilkenny-Tipp remained true to the game's man-on-man traditions. 'It was a little bit simpler, maybe it was,' Lyng admits. 'But I think every year something was always added to it and you can see that, even from a puckout situation over the years. Teams were even back then doing a lot of work. That's something you always had to prepare for. 'Maybe it was a little bit more simpler in terms of it was man-on-man, and particularly how Kilkenny and Tipp go about it, that was generally always the way. 'But at the same time, the fundamentals were always there. It's about winning your own ball; it was about using the ball well and being efficient when you have it. That hasn't changed. 'So certainly from a tactical point of view, there's probably a lot more that you need to take into account now than you did 15, 20 years ago.' With Tipp's inability to break out of Munster in recent years, much like during Lyng's childhood, Sunday's semi-final is their first Championship meeting in six years and Tipperary won the last two, the finals of 2016 and '19 finals, decisively. Eddie Brennan reckons that, on that basis, Kilkenny owe Tipp one, though Lyng doesn't tally with his former teammate on that. 'No. And I get it. I think when Kilkenny and Tipp meet, there'll be a lot of talk this week in media – and that's fine and it adds to the whole story of it and it builds up the game and everything else. 'But for us, it's the next game. It's about performing and you can't get caught up too much in the emotion of it all. For us, an All-Ireland semi-final is a huge event in itself. 'The fact that we're playing Tipperary adds to it, if anything. Nothing else comes into play. 'This team are after performing really well all year. We know what the challenge is, we have to take it to another level now. That's what's in front of us, so that's where the focus is going.'

Teams: Declan Dalton and Rob Downey start for Cork
Captain Rob Downey and Declan Dalton return to the starting line-up as Cork have announced their team to face Dublin in this Saturday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final. Pat Ryan's team contains three changes from the side that eventually saw off Limerick on penalties in last month's memorable Munster decider. The experienced Seamus Harnedy and wing-back Cormac O'Brien are both ruled out with injury - hamstring and quad respectively. Declan Dalton, injured for the latter stages of the Munster championship, replaces Harnedy in the half-forward line, while Rob Downey slots in at centre-back, Ciaran Joyce shifting across the wing back spot. In the full-back line, Niall O'Leary replaces the veteran corner-back Damien Cahalane, who is among the substitutes. Ger Millerick has returned from injury and also included in the match-day squad. Tommy O'Connell, Conor Lehane and Shane Kingston, all of whom made a big impression coming off the bench at the TUS Gaelic Grounds, are again named among the replacements. Cork: Patrick Collins; Niall O'Leary, Eoin Downey, Sean O'Donoghue; Ciarán Joyce, Rob Downey , Mark Coleman; Tim O'Mahony, Darragh Fitzgibbon; Diarmuid Healy, Shane Barrett, Declan Dalton; Patrick Horgan, Alan Connolly, Brian Hayes.

Pat Ryan makes three changes to Cork team for All-Ireland SHC semi-final against Dublin
Pat Ryan has made three changes to his Cork team for their All-Ireland senior hurling semi-final showdown with Dublin at Croke Park on Saturday evening. By the time the Rebels run out at the GAA's HQ, it will be four weeks since their last outing and their dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Limerick in the Munster final. And while the time off has given a number of players the opportunity to recover ahead of the last four clash in the capital (throw-in is at 5pm) they have also suffered a couple of injury blows. Read More Pat Ryan rules out naming Cork 'dummy team' as fresh injury doubt emerges Cork v Dublin: What time, what channel and all you need to know about the All-Ireland SHC semi-final As reported earlier in the week, Séamus Harnedy misses out with a hamstring injury and he has been replaced in the half-forward line by Declan Dalton while Robert Downey replaces Cormac O'Brien in the half-back line and Niall O'Leary comes in for Damien Cahalane at right corner-back. Cahalane drops to the substitutes bench where he will be joined by Shane Kingston and Conor Lehane, both of whom impressed from the bench against Limerick, but Harnedy and O'Brien have failed to make the 26-man squad. Ger Millerick has also recovered in time to make the panel. The Rebels are hoping to reach back-to-back All-Ireland hurling finals and move one step closer to landing the Liam MacCarthy Cup for the first time in 20 years. But standing in their way is a Dublin side that will be buoyed by their memorable victory over Limerick in the quarter-finals two weeks earlier. They have yet to name their starting 15. CORK (v Dublin): P Collins; N O'Leary, E Downey, S O'Donoghue; C Joyce, R Downey, M Coleman; T O'Mahony, D Fitzgibbon; D Healy, S Barrett (c), D Dalton; P Horgan, A Connolly, B Hayes. Subs: B Saunderson, D Cahalane, G Millerick, T O'Connell, E Twomey, L Meade, B Roche, J O'Connor, S Kingston, R O'Flynn, C Lehane.
