Clinical Dunne delivers for Toomevara

ONE-WAY traffic in this, the last of the four Tipperary senior hurling quarter-finals played in Semple Stadium at the weekend, as champions Toomevara continued their well-timed run towards retaining their title.

It wasn’t a good weekend for divisional champions, Drom & Inch the only one of four to record a win as Toome did to the West champions here what Thurles Sarsfields and Upperchurch Drombane had done to Nenagh Éire Óg and Mullinahone (North and South champions respectively) on Saturday.

This one was a contest for just over 20 minutes, at which point the teams were level, 1-5 apiece – after that, and apart from a short burst early in the second half, it was virtually all Toomevara.
