Tipp thankful for 'Red' redemption

Tipperary 2-14 Limerick 2-14

In the end, they needed midfielder Paul O'Grady's point two and a half minutes into injury time to save them from defeat, but it was the very least they deserved from a performance which did hurlers and management proud.

Tipperary were blessed to get a draw. They struggled for long periods and in the end it was a creditable show of character which saved them, although wing-forward John Devane almost won the game with a goal 45 seconds into injury time.
