Munster Senior Football Championship Semi-Final

Tipperary v Cork, Semple Stadium, 7pm

 It promises to be an intriguing battle at Semple Stadium. The stakes are piled high with a place in the Munster decider at stake.

Tipperary did exactly what was required when beating Waterford at the quarter-final stage, but a much more revealing test looms for Liam Kearns' team.

Cork's Allianz Football League Division Two form was mixed, but new manager Ronan McCarthy is hopeful about making progress.

McCarthy is a widely respected figure in Cork and will have his team primed for this match which could go the distance in Thurles.

CORK: Mark White; Kevin Crowley, Jamie O'Sullivan, Kevin Flahive; Sean White, Stephen Cronin, Tomás Clancy; Aidan Walsh, Ian Maguire; Kevin O'Driscoll, Mark Collins, Ruairi Deane; John O'Rourke, Colm O'Neill, Luke Connolly.
