For the second time in a week, Kilkenny went head-to-head with Tipperary on a hurling pitch.

This time Kilkenny had to go the long long way to Tipperary, to face their old rivals once again in FBD Semple Stadium. 

A packed crowd was expected to attend with the intention being to raise funds for the Dillon Quirke Foundation. A hugely worthy cause, which has resonated heavily with the GAA community around the world.
