Clonmel Commercials edge Moyle Rovers in thriller

Clonmel Commercials 1-12 Moyle Rovers 3-5: Hot favourites Clonmel Commercials had to draw on all their reserves of self-belief to regain the Tipperary SFC title after a three-year gap when defeating neighbours Moyle Rovers in a thriller at Semple Stadium, Thurles.

It all seemed to be going badly wrong for the Commercials as they were hit with two goals in three minutes in the opening quarter and were again caught napping five minutes into the second half.

But they dug deep and responded to those setbacks with some quality football that yielded vital scores and in the closing period in particular, after they had drawn level, they were rampant.
