Kilkenny V Tipperary

Old rivalries are being renewed on Sunday, as the two teams clash for the 21st time in an All-Ireland final. Tipperary have won 11, Kilkenny have won eight and they played out a draw in 2014. This years final takes place in Croke Park on the 18th of August at 3:30pm.

The Tipperary view:

There's a huge rivalry, where you don't want to lose to that other crowd from over the border. But essentially it's, Springfield against Shelbyville from The Simpsons. These are mirror images of each other, both trying to do the same thing.

Shane Stapleton, who watched his brother Paddy play in five All-Ireland finals gives us a Tipperary view of this weekends hurling final between Tipperary and Kilkenny.

 

 

The Kilkenny view:

Welcome to Graceland, the home of Kilkenny hurling and the home of 'The King.'

Reporter Barry Whyte travelled to meet with Kilkenny man Myles ‘Elvis’ Kavanagh. Myles has turned his home into a shrine full of Kilkenny hurling fandom and he gave Barry a tour of his 'Graceland'.

You can listen to reporter Barry Whyte's speaking with a host of colourful supporters from both Kilkenny and Tipperary below:
