Buckley goal opens gates as Limerick rout disappointing Tipp

Limerick 3-12 Tipperary 0-5

Even allowing for the weakness of the opposition, Limerick produced a marvelous display of attacking football and, on this evidence, will provide Cork with a searching test in next month’s semi-final.

Over the last three years Tipp had beaten Limerick in the minor championship and were expected to at least put up a serious challenge on this occasion. However, they simply weren’t at the races in this game and it was over as a contest after the Shannonsiders hit two goals by the 10th minute.
