McGrath’s perfect 10 in Premier pushover

Tipperary 2-18 Dublin 1-11

But it was heartache for Dublin who after coming so close to ending their 47-year trophy hoodoo are still awaiting their big breakthrough.

In truth, Dublin’s best chance of claiming a first win since 1965 was probably lost back on September 9 when they started so strongly but failed to see it out. They never quite got to grips with the Munster champions in yesterday’s replay.
