Up for the Match? Read Red Cow Moran Hotels pre-match analysis on Tipperary v Mayo in Sundays Senior Football Semi Final

GAA All Ireland Senior Football Semi-Final 2016 this Sunday. Who will take the glory, Tipperary or Mayo? Will you make it ‘Up for the Match‘?

Mayo v Tipp All Ireland Senior Football Semi Final

Can Tipperary keep the dream alive of winning the double? A fete that has not been achieved since the rebels in 1990. It was a case of job done for the Tipp hurlers when a strong second half display saw them dispatch a gritty Galway side at Croke Park last weekend.

Alan Campbell and Seamus O’Shea will go head to head this Sunday as Tipperary take on Mayo in the All Ire. Senior Football Semi Final.

Tipp will be hoping to keep the fairytale year going on Sunday, having accounted for Derry in the qualifiers and Connaught champions Galway in the quarter finals – confidence is sure to be high in the camp.Having achieved plenty of underage success in recent years along with the club success of Clonmel Commercials in the All-Ireland club series it was only a matter of time until the fruits of this reached senior level. Tipp have raised plenty of eyebrows throughout this campaign and have the experts talking about the impressive attacking football they play. This being said, Tipp will need everything to go right on the day to be a match for a very strong Mayo team who have been teetering on the edge of All Ireland glory for the last number of years. Mayo are seeking a spot in the September decider for the first time since 2013. Everyone was shocked at the surprise defeat Mayo suffered at the hands of Connaught rivals Galway in the provincial championship when Mayo were seeking a record 6 senior titles in a row. Mayo find themselves coming into this semi-final having taken an unfamiliar route through the qualifiers, they look a very determined, battled hardened and dogged team. This was on show when they put Tyrone to the sword by the narrowest of margins to book their semi-final spot.

On paper this promises to be a very mouth-watering affair with plenty of free flowing attacking football on display, Mayo will certainly carry the ‘favourites’ tag, however Tipp have shown throughout this campaign they are happy to go in as underdogs and cause a massive upset by ending Mayo’s dream of All Ireland glory!
