Kilkenny U20 manager Mark Dowling has claimed the Tipperary favourites tag is of no interest to the panel ahead of Saturday's All-Ireland Under-20 Hurling Final. 

The match is scheduled for a 3pm throw-in in UPMC Nowlan Park, with the Kilkenny camogie's team All-Ireland championship clash with Waterford the first part of the double bill from 12.30pm.

"We don't look into that one way or another. Good, bad or indifferent," Dowling told the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast.

"It's probably irrelevant to be fair to both teams. We're both well aware of the challenge of the opposition," he continued, adding, "it's about us concentrating and getting the best out of ourselves and seeing where that gets us."
