Tipperary calls as Kilkenny schools action takes centre stage
Three Kilkenny schools are in hurling and camogie fare this afternoon
It's a fest of schools GAA action later today as Loreto, St Kieran's and Kilkenny CBC all take to the field in knockout clashes.
In a quirky turn of fate all three games take place in neighbouring Tipperary and it's the Loreto that take pride of place as they take on Ursuline of Thurles in the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Final in Gortnahoe GAA club at 12noon.
The Kilkenny school were emphatic winners over Pres Athenry in the semi-finals but they can expect a much stiffer test here as they look to bring the All-Ireland title back to Noreside for a fourth year on the trot.
Elsewhere St Kieran's and Kilkenny CBC are both chasing a place in the last four of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Croke Cup as they take on St Brigid's of Loughrea and St Flannan's of Ennis respectively.
Defending Leinster champions St Kieran's accouted for Kilkenny CBC in the final a few weeks ago and Brian Dowling's team will be strong favourites when they face Loughrea in Toomevara GAA at 12.30pm.
Kilkenny CBC will then finish the second level action for the day as they look to rediscover their for when they meet Munster finalists St Flannan's of Ennis in Bansha at 2pm.
