Tireless Tribe turn tide

Galway 2-20 Tipperary 2-18

But let no-one be under any illusion, Galway were full value for their win over Tipperary, unlikely as that prospect looked beforehand and even more unlikely as it looked at the break.

At that stage Tipp led by just five points, 2-9 to 0-10, but were a class apart, efficient, controlled, controlling, while Galway were loose, ragged, shot wide after despairing wide, eleven their eventual first-half total.
