Tipperary's Paul Curran and Asaike O hAilpin of Cork battle in out the Munster SHC at Thurles
Paul Curran will lead Tipperary's hurlers in 2012.
The Mullinahone man takes over the role from Eoin Kelly, who guided the county to an All-Ireland two seasons ago.
A current All Star at full back, Curran was a substitute for Tipperary's Liam McCarthy Cup win in 2001 and full back in the 2010 success over Kilkenny.
