Ex-Tipp manager takes off his mask for Marty Morrissey on Up for the Match

In a brilliant Up for the Match on Saturday night ahead of the All-Ireland final, Marty Morrissey teased viewers with a mystery guest throughout the program where he was live in Tipperary joined by a huge amount of local supporters in Loughmore-Castleiney.

At several stages during the show, Marty's mystery guest could be seen wearing a dog mask as well as an assortment of Tipperary gear, they were also surrounded by a host of great fans in blue and gold excitedly cheering for the team.

The man in the dog mask was revealed to be ex-Tipperary senior hurling manager Liam Sheedy at the end of the show when he gave his thoughts on the big game: "There's a lot of pressure on Cork, they've lost the last three and there's celtic crosses in the Tipperary dressing room and they know how to win."

He also gave several shoutouts to the McGrath family, with hurling brothers Brian, Noel and John McGrath all taking to the field on Sunday.

Tune in from 3pm on RTÉ to watch the match today as Tipperary take on Cork in what is sure to be a nail-biter!
