ALLIANZ GAA HURLING
NATIONAL LEAGUE
After a disappointing defeat to Dublin last Sunday, Tipperary’s senior hurlers will be hoping to bounce back against Kilkenny on Sunday March 7 when hopefully the twice cancelled game against the defending Le
ague and All Ireland champions will actually take place. The game is scheduled to commence at 2.30pm. In keeping with the promise made to supporters on the night the first game was cancelled, there will be no entry charge. Both stands and one terrace will be open from 12.30pm on Sunday. Supporters are asked to come early if they wish to gain access to the stands. As the game is non-ticket, health and safety rules mean that both stands will be closed once 70% full. This will be the 60th league encounter between Tipperary and Kilkenny with Tipp having won 28, Kilkenny 25 and 6 draws in the previous 59 games.
