Referee confirmed for Tipperary senior hurlers All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final clash

Tipperary will face Laois in Portlaoise this Saturday

The referee for Tipperary's senior hurling clash with Laois this coming Saturday in Portlaoise has been confirmed.

Liam Cahill's charges will go into the preliminary quarter-final as hot favourites against a Laois side who will be licking their wounds after losing out to Kildare in last Sunday's Joe McDonagh Cup final.

Dublin whistler Chris Mooney will be the man in the middle for this game. Mooney is an experienced ref, and he took charge of Tipperary's league clash with Limerick earlier this year.

The game throws in at 1.45pm on Saturday in Laois Hire O'Moore Park, Portlaoise.
