Kelly makes Saffrons suffer as Tipp stumble home
Following the heroics at Nowlan Park a fortnight ago, much was expected of Tipp’s new hopefuls. But, to the disappointment of their frustrated followers, they failed miserably to make an impression.
While admittedly playing against an exceptionally strong wind in the first half, Tipperary only managed to score two points, both coming from Eoin Kelly frees, and their first point from play was not registered until the 52nd minute when substitute Willie Ryan found the target with his first touch.
