THURLES SARS had a much tougher battle than predicted in their Munster Club SHC semi-final at Kilmallock yesterday.

THE Tipperary senior hurling championship final ended on a sour note in Semple Stadiumyesterday when Drom & Inch and Tipperary midfielder James Woodlock was stretchered off the field deep into injury time with a suspected fractured ankle.

THE FAIRYTALE ended for Upperchurch Drombane in Semple Stadium yesterday, a season in which new ground was broken in the Tipperary SHC at both divisional and county level, and a tame ending it was.

THERE can scarcely have been a more dramatic end to a hurling match that the one which occurred at Cusack Park last night.

A POINT by Mark O’Meara three minutes into injury time earned Tipperary a narrow victory over Limerick in a hugely entertaining Munster U21HC semi-final at Thurles last night.

CIARÁN CAREY, never one to back away from a challenge during his playing days, hopes to get Limerick hurling back on track in tonight’s Munster U21 semi-final in Semple Stadium (7.30pm).

GALWAY are chasing a hat-trick in tomorrow’s ESB All-Ireland MHC final against Tipperary in Croke Park (1.30).

A finely-tuned Tipperary side had little difficulty in disposing of Limerick in the ESB Munster MHC semi-final at Semple Stadium last night and set up a final meting with Cork on the last Sunday in June.
