TIPPERARY HAVE ARRIVED
Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog for the All-Ireland U20 Hurling Championship clash between Kilkenny and Tipperary.
It might be a football weekend in terms of senior Championship action, but we have an All-Ireland hurling final to look forward to at U20 level and it should be a cracking contest.
Tipperary suffered defeat to Offaly in last year's U20 final, while this is Kilkenny's first time in the decider since they beat Limerick to win the Championship in 2022.
It's six years since Tipp last won an All-Ireland at this level, but they come into today's final as the 1/3 favourites with the bookies, while Kilkenny are 13/5.
There's just over an hour to go until throw-in and we'll keep you up to date with all the action right here.
