Tipperary County Board will lobby Croke Park for more than the €50,000 grant afforded to teams for All-Ireland final replays in the last two years.

When Kilkenny and Galway replayed the 2012 hurling decider and Clare V Cork went to a rematch last September, each county was handed 50k from the resulting gate receipts.

But, with Croker set to reap up to €1.2m from the mouth-watering September 27th replay - Tipp chairman Sean Nugent has suggested that the Premier County would like a bigger slice of the pie:

"It's a financial burden we have to take and we will be talking to Croke Park about that," he told The Irish Daily Star.

"There was a grant given in the past but maybe we will look for a higher grant. We would need that because there are a lot of things to take into consideration.

"You lose club games as a consequence of it as well and you lose gate receipts also, so you are losing financially within the county because games have to go off."
