Tipperary manager Eamon O'Shea will have welcomed the decision of the County Board to call off three of the four divisional hurling finals which were down for decision this weekend.

The county's fixture-makers ruled on Monday night that only The North final, between Burgess and Eire Og Nenagh, will go ahead as planned as there are no county panelists involved.

The move could have an impact on Tipp's ability to provide representatives for the Munster club championships and chairman Sean Nugent is to seek discussions with Munster Council officials on the matter.

The Tipperary champions are due to play either the Clare or Waterford kingpins in the Munster semi-final on November 9.

Meanwhile, manager O'Shea hasn't wasted any time in turning his attention to the Liam McCarthy Cup replay.

"Even when the game ended, I was thinking we still have a job to do in three weeks. That doesn't change when you wake up in the morning," he said to the Irish Independent.

"You're looking forward rather than looking back."
