The Premier County set their stall out and they rebuked this request.
Tipperary and Cork have a bit of history in these instances let's not forget. After some far from canny fixture planning by the Munster council earlier in the year, the Premier County's senior footballers were put in the awkward position of having to face into a Munster semi against Cork just six days after their quarter against Waterford.

So Cork's four players (Fitzgibbon, Coleman, O'Flynn and Kingston) involved in Sunday's battle have just had to suck it up in the meantime.
The condition of their senior teammate Damien Cahalane as he left Semple Stadium on Sunday afternoon shows just how gruelling Sunday's sunny slog was.
"Damien Cahalane stumbled in past me while I was waiting to interview Harnedy, and he was gone. He was absolutely ready to feint, he was being held up, he was pale as a ghost. He suffered heat-stroke," said Colm Parkinson.Those are the dangers for players in conditions like these and water-breaks should surely be considered for the players' welfare for tonight's showpiece. So for the last over few days, it's all been about refuelling and recharging the batteries. Indeed, the Páirc Uí Chaoimh showdown promises to be a belter of a game and it will be live on TG4 at 7.30 on Wednesday evening. Cork go in as marginal favourites, hardly surprising given their starting XV contains seven senior panelists.
