Workrate and hunger the key combination

1. Limerick react to Tipp goal.

With 15 minutes gone in the second half, Tipperary had turned a four-point deficit in the 38th minute into a four-point lead by the 50th.

The Premier half-back line had taken over and it looked as if Tipp would drive on to win the game. Tipp boss Eamon O’Shea had brought on John O’Dwyer and he had some impact, scoring 1-3 in the first 15 minutes of the half.
