Brace of injury-time points by Tipp deny gallant Waterford

Tipperary 1-8

They were cruelly denied victory with a brace of points scored in injury-time, the decisive match-winner coming from a close-in free.

The opening sequences were totally Tipp-dominated, and when they raced into a six-point lead inside 13 minutes. Waterford looked to be facing a right old drubbing. Tipp's lone goal came as early as the second minute from their scorer in chief, David Byrne, and as Waterford struggled to get themselves into contention, they had to wait a quarter-of-an-hour to register on the scoreboard with a fine point from midfielder Karl O'Keeffe.
