Terrific Tipp go so close

TIPPERARY football received a massive shot in the arm at Páirc Uí Chaoimh yesterday where their minors drew with Kerry in a hugely entertaining Munster final.

For long periods it was a result that didn’t look likely as Kerry took a five-point lead into half time, and held that advantage until the 40th minute. But a cracking goal by midfielder Alan Moloney set up a grandstand finish by the Premier lads.

In a tense last five minutes Tipp had two chances to win the game but in the end had to settle for a second bite of the cherry.
