Agony for CIT as Hanrahan strikes late for Tipperary

Tipperary 2-8 CIT 0-13

Their team defending a comfortable three-point lead, the CIT bench and officials were nevertheless outraged: "Where the hell did he get two extra minutes?" they wondered aloud.

Thankfully for Tipperary, however, the referee did play those two additional minutes, in full, plus two more because of a late injury to CIT full-forward Roy Leahy. And it was in that fourth final and fateful minute, after an earlier Benny Hickey point, that the home team scored the goal that saw them through to the next round, against the winners of tonight's Cork/Tralee IT clash.
