PREVIEW: Tipperary require big Cork performance to continue their interest in Munster
Tipperary will face Cork in the Munster Championship this weekend
Tipperary v Cork; Fethard Town Park, Sunday, May 4th @ 2pm
Tipperary's ladies footballers will need to produce a huge performance this coming Sunday against Cork if they are to continue their involvement in the Munster Championship for 2025.
This is a crucial game for both sides, following Round 1 defeats. Tipperary lost out to Waterford, as Kerry got the better of Cork.
To keep Munster Final hopes alive, a win is a must in Fethard on Sunday – and there are changes to both teams.
Sarah English and Ava Fennessy come into the Tipperary side, with Kate Cashman and Caoimhe Condon dropping out.
For Cork, Máire O’Callaghan, Aoife Healy, and Aine O’Sullivan are all drafted in to replace Aimee Corcoran, Sadbh McGoldrick, and Abigail Ring.
Cork won comfortably in a Division 2 clash when the counties met during the group stages of the Lidl National League.
