Tipperary's Paddy Stapleton is set to miss the NHL Division One final against Kilkenny.

The corner back will be unavailable for the Premier County's trip to Nowlan Park on Sunday after breaking his hand in a club match.

The Borris-Ileigh clubman sustained the injury on Sunday when lining out against North Tipp rivals Templederry Kenyons.

Stapleton - who missed the entire 2012 league campaign through injury - is expected to be back in time for the Premier County's Munster SHC opener against Limerick on June 9th.
