Afternoon all and welcome to today’s live blog. Kevin O’Brien here and I’ll be taking you through all of today’s action in Munster, Leinster and Ulster.

Tipperary bid to end Kerry’s dominance in the Munster SFC final at 2pm, while Galway take on Kilkenny in the Leinster SHC decider at 4pm.

Meanwhile in Ulster, Tyrone and Cavan meet again at 4pm to decide who will meet Donegal in the Ulster SFC final.

We have a late change on the Kerry team, with Aidan O’Mahony replacing Peter Crowley. Crowley clashed heads with Johnny Buckley in training earlier this week.

Tipperary make one change: Jimmy Feehan comes in for Martin Dunne.

1 min: Tipperary 1-0 Kerry 0-0

GOAL for Tipperary! Great start for the Premier County!

Kerry’s full-back line are dealing brilliantly with the long balls into Michael Quinlivan.

Half-time:  Kerry 2-7 Tipperary 1-4

Tipperary have placed Jimmy Feehan as a sweeper right in front of Paul Geaney.

57 mins: Kerry 3-11 Tipperary 2-7

Josh Keane has been black carded for a foul on Bryan Sheehan. That seemed like a harsh decision. A sad way for his day to end, he put in a good performance today.

Sheehan converts the free.

James O’Donoghue has arrived into the game off the bench for Kerry. What a player to bring off the bench. Stephen O’Brien goes off.

O’Donoghue is playing quite deep. He’s operating around the middle third at the moment.
