Stone’s last-gasp free saves Tipperary

Cork 2-11 Tipperary 2-11 (after extra-time)

At one stage in normal time it looked as if Tipperary would win the title for the first time when they opened up a five-point gap. But Cork bravely fought back to keep their three-in-a-row hopes alive.

Lightning fast points from Ronan McCarthy and Shane Dromey gave Cork the perfect start. But, with splendid centre-back Simon Kelly and roving full-forward Daryl Darcy settling into their stride, Tipperary steadied the ship.
