Tipperary v Kilkenny

The 2011 All Ireland Hurling Final is just 6 days away and old rivals Tipperary and Kilkenny are facing up to each other once again. In fact this years final will make it 3 years in a row that the two have met in the final with Kilkenny taking the 2009 title while Tipperary got revenge in 2010. So it's one apiece for these current teams and there is no little to seperate the sides in this years previews and form.

So which county can claim the upperhand and get 2 from 3 ? Will Kilkenny get revenge for last year or will Tipp do 2 in a row - something they haven't done since 1964/65?

There is great rivalry between them, for sure, but they have only met 15 times in the final and Tipp are ahead on those by 10 to 5.
In overall wins Kilkenny have the upperhand with 32 titles to Tipps 26

Here's the final taster from 2010 with clips from many past matches
