Tipperary's junior footballers are also up against the might of Kerry on Sunday.

The curtain-raiser to the Munster SFC quarter-final at Killarney sees the Premier County and the Kingdom lock horns in the Munster JFC at noon.

Tipp are managed by Jim O'Meara from Grangemockler and they are bringing a team with a good mixture of youth and experience to Fitzgerald, where the visitors will be determined to do more than merely make up the numbers.

The Tipperary management team is completed by Pat Murphy (Kilruane MacDonaghs), Christopher Ryan (Kilsheelan) and Jim Healy (Loughmore-Castleiney), who are hoping that the travelling support will make it to the Killarney venue early to cheer their charges on.

The Tipp panel is as follows: Jack English (Ballyporeen), Martin McKeogh (Ballina), Fergal Hayes (Thomas McDonaghs), Christopher Higgins (Galtee Rovers), Thomas Hanley (Aherlow), Mark Hanley (Aherlow), Ger Mulhaire (Arravale Rovers), Ciaran McGrath (Loughmore Castleiney), Kevin Butler (Drom & Inch), Arron Kelly (Moyle Rovers), Tommy Ryan (Kilsheelan Kilcash), Colm Morrissey (Galtee Rovers), Brian Quinn (Burgess), Donnagh Heffernan (Cappawhite), Adrian Walsh (Kilsheelan Kilcash), David Butler (Knockavilla Kickhams), Damien O'Brien (Eire Óg Anacarty), Laurence Coskeran (Aherlow), Gavin Ryan (Rockwell Rovers), Benny Hickey (Cahir), Adrian Cummins (Cashel King Cormacs), Alan Rockett (Carrick Swans), Eoin Ryan (Kilsheelan Kilcash), Eddie Costello (Drom & Inch).
