Game will be played as curtain-raiser to Cork/Kerry clash on Saturday June 3

Tipperary's senior footballers will play Waterford in their final group game in the Tailteann Cup at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday week, June 3.

The match throws in at 1pm and is the curtain-raiser to the meeting of Cork and Kerry in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Group 1, Round 2.

That game starts at 3pm and will be shown live on GAAGO.

Following Sunday's heavy defeat by Down, and looking ahead to the tie against Waterford, Tipperary manager David Power said “Whatever happens we have to finish with a win.

"I don’t think the win will be good enough to progress to the knockout stages but at the very least we need a win”.
