Brian Gavin has been confirmed as the referee for the All-Ireland SHC final replay between Kilkenny and Tipperary.

It will be the Offaly official's third senior assignment, having previously taken charge of the 2013 drawn final between Clare and Cork and the 2011 decider, also between Kilkenny and Tipperary.

Matches on his CV this year include the Munster SHC final between Cork and Limerick, Cork's outing against Waterford in the Munster SHC quarter-final and the SHC quarter final clash between Tipperary and Dublin.

Wexford's James Owens will be the standby referee with James McGrath (Westmeath) as the other linesman and the sideline official will be Alan Kelly (Galway).
