Corbett's hat-trick proves too much for Offaly

Tipperary 4-14 Offaly 1-8

A four goal blast, highlighted by a fabulous hat-trick from corner forward Lar Corbett, powered Tipperary to a runaway triumph and left a bruised, tender-aged Offaly side reeling.

Offaly, fielding nine U-21 players, served up a very plucky performance early on, with centre back Joe Brady and left half back David Franks making a huge impression.
