Tipperary Under 21 hurling boss Declan Carr is sweating on the fitness of three of his players ahead of this Sunday's All-Ireland final with Kilkenny. Defender Joey McLoughney looks to be the most doubtful to feature against the Cats, while injuries to John O'Keefe and Michael Cahill are also a concern for the Tipp boss. However Danny O'Hanlon's return to the squad should provide Carr with a major boost going into the decider with a substitute appearance very likely for the Carrick Swan marksman. In March of last year, the young O'Hanlon struck two goals for the Premier County's senior side in a National League game at Nowlan Park against All-Ireland Champions Kilkenny, but has since struggled to keep his place in the starting 15 due to a combination of form loss and injuries.
