Penalty goal from Foley keeps Limerick in the running

Limerick 3-9

Indeed, Foley had a chance to win it for the champions in injury time but his effort from a sideline cut was only inches wide.

It would have been rough justice on either side to have lost this final. Both sides had periods of dominance in which they failed to win it and of the two, Tipperary were perhaps the most disappointed as they held a three-point advantage going into the closing minutes.
