John Fogarty Tipperary boss Liam Sheedy has drafted in Barry Heffernan and Michael Breen to give his team a more physical edge in tomorrow’s All-Ireland semi-final against Wexford.

In emphatic style, All-Ireland champions Limerick claimed a first Munster title in six years in front of a packed LIT Gaelic Grounds.

First-half injuries to Cathal Barrett (hamstring) and Patrick Maher (knee) tempered Tipperary maintaining their 100% record as they and Limerick will meet again in a Munster final on Sunday week.

Clare were a shadow of themselves as a rampant Tipperary made a mockery of the Banner’s proud home record in Cusack Park.

Jason Forde hit 1-9 as Tipperary shook off a sluggish mid-game spell to leave 14-man Waterford on the brink of a Munster Championship exit.

John Meyler has reacted to Cork’s defeat to Tipperary by making four changes for tomorrow’s Munster SHC Round 2 in the LIT Gaelic Grounds.

Tipperary claimed their first win over Cork in Páirc Uí Chaoimh in seven years but perhaps, more importantly, their first victory in Munster since 2016 in front of a 30,274 crowd.

Castlelyons’ Niall O’Leary is the new face in the named Cork team to take on Tipperary in Sunday’s Munster SHC Round 1 clash as John Meyler goes with 13 of the team that were defeated by Limerick in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final.

Tipperary ran out comfortable victors in this NHL 1A game, dominating the game throughout and winning with plenty to spare.

John Kiely insisted that Limerick would have a “right cut off” Tipperary and so it transpired.

Two goals in the first half of extra-time from Jason Forde sent Tipperary to their second successive Division 1 final after a riveting clash in Thurles.

David Reidy’s injury-time free and goal sealed and capped off a deserved win for Clare in Cusack Park.

Liam Mellows claimed their first Galway SHC title in 47 years with a composure that belied their final inexperience in Pearse Stadium.

Tipp’s experience was vital in Páirc Uí Chaoimh today as they showed all their nous to edge out Clare in the All-Ireland SHC quarter-final, hitting five points in the closing stages for a three-point win, writes Michael Moynihan.

The loss of John O’Dwyer to an early red card didn’t deter Tipperary from confirming a second successive Munster final date with Waterford.

Cork 4-21 Tipperary 2-28

Tipperary 2-22, Kilkenny 1-13:

Delight for the University of Limerick after a comfortable Fitzgibbon Cup final win over Waterford Institute of Technology last night in Páirc Uí Rinn, the men from Limerick far too strong for their opponents.

How much can you learn a week after New Year’s Eve?

Tipperary 4-20 Dublin 0-17

Waterford 1-14 Tipperary 0-16

Silvermines (Tipperary) 0-13 An Rinn (Waterford) 0-11

A STRONG second-half was enough to see Nenagh CBS upset the odds and surge past Waterford’s De La Salle in an entertaining Harty Cup quarter-final in Clonmel yesterday.
