Fermanagh 0-13 Down 0-10

A David Treacy hat-trick wasn’t enough to save Dublin from an agonising two points defeat by Tipperary in this riveting Allianz NHL Division One tie at Semple Stadium, Thurles yesterday.

TIPPERARY manager John Evans admitted that he could have cried when Cork’s U-21s snatched an injury-time victory in last Saturday’s provincial final and he was on the verge of tears again yesterday as the senior team clinched promotion from Division 3.
