Old rivals Tipperary and Kilkenny gear up for 'must-win' camogie encounter
Tipperary v Kilkenny is at The Ragg - Live on Camogie Association YouTube - on Saturday afternoon next, March 1st at 2pm
Many tales have been told of Tipperary-Kilkenny battles over the years and this rivalry remains fierce.
Tipperary gave up a winning position late on and had to settle for a draw against Dublin at 'Fortress Ragg' last week so will look to bite back in this one.

There was plenty to like about their efforts though, particularly with some fresh blood introduced in light of high-profile retirements and injuries to skipper Karen Kennedy and last year’s Very League Division 1A final match winner, Karin Blair.
Tommy Shefflin has his own retirement and injury list to overcome and he began his management term with a defeat to Galway.
That provides him with an opportunity though and with a number of players for minor and schools’ winning teams at his disposal, he is hoping that some new players will make their mark.
Justin Heffernan (Wexford) is the referee for the game which is proving to be an early season must win game for both sides. Expect a close encounter at 'The Ragg' with plenty to shout about.
