Tipperary footballers learn group fate for upcoming Tailteann Cup

Tipperary have learned their opponents for the upcoming 2023 Tailteann Cup.

David Power's men have been drawn in Group 2 of this year's Tier 2 competition, where they will face Meath, Down and Waterford in their games as they bid to claim a berth in Sam Maguire next year.

The format will see group winners advance straight to the quarter-finals, which will be subject to the avoidance of repeat provincial final pairings and group stage pairings where possible, while the second-placed teams will host a third-placed team from another group in preliminary quarter-finals.

The round-robin series will begin on 20/21 May with round one continuing on 27/28 May. Round two will take place on 3/4 June with the final round on 17/18 June.
