Browne breaks Déise hearts

Tipperary 0-18, Waterford 1-12

He kicked 10 points, many of them coming from frees after he was fouled. He set up colleagues too for vital scores.

The home side couldn't have asked for a better start, going four points clear with only as many minutes on the clock. Into the third minute, Johnny Hennessy was unceremoniously taken down by goalkeeper Philly Ryan as he careered goalwards and Connie Power converted the inevitable penalty with Ryan being yellow-carded for his blatant indiscretion.
