0 minutes ago
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the second All-Ireland semi-final between
Kilkenny
and
Tipperary
at Croke Park. Throw-in is at 4pm. Cork
threw around their weight yesterday
in thrashing Dublin, scoring seven goals, and now two great rivals are ready to try to get through and have a cut at them in a few weeks time. The three teams left in the championship are the three royalties of hurling, winning 94 of all possible All-Irelands, and don't tend to get bashful when they see the Liam MacCarthy Cup in sight. This should be an interesting battle today, closer than yesterday you imagine.
Here are the teams:
