Poll: Who do you now think will lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup in Croke Park next month?

We’re heading for another Tipperary-Kilkenny final.

AND THEN THERE were two.

It was a weekend of spellbinding hurling action in Semple Stadium and Croke Park but when the dust settled, there was a familiar pair of hurling forces still standing.

Kilkenny and Tipperary prolonged their seasons with respective victories over Waterford and Galway.

It’s a third final in succession for Kilkenny and remarkably their 16th in 19 years. For Tipperary it’s the fifth time in eight seasons that they have reached the September decider and Kilkenny have been their opponents in all of those clashes.

But who do you now think will win? Kilkenny are bidding to complete a three-in-a-row while Tipperary are chasing a first success since 2010.

Let us know.
