CORK STAR DARRAGH Fitzgibbon is named on the benck for the Rebels’ All-Ireland SHC Round 2 qualifier Round meeting with Tipperary tomorrow.

The 2018 All-Star winner could be in line for his inter-county return at LIT Gaelic Grounds [throw-in 4pm] having been out with a hamstring injury lately.

Fitzgibbon had been in stellar club form, helping Charleville reach the top level of senior hurling on Leeside after scoring 1-8 in their final victory last month.

Kieran Kingston has named an unchanged starting XV after Cork beat Dublin last time out. Tipperary named their team earlier this evening.
