Tipperary back on track
Last year’s beaten All-Ireland finalists were rarely troubled by Colm Bonnar’s visitors as a devastating scoring blitz immediately after half-time killed this one-sided tie stone dead. Tipp led by 0-15 to 0-7 at the break and Wexford’s only consolation was that they would face the Town End in the second half with the breeze at their backs.
But after Eoin Kelly landed a quickfire brace of points within two minutes of the restart, Lar Corbett bagged two goals in a minute and the 11th senior championship meeting between the counties was history. Sheedy insisted the focus was all about getting to the next round of qualifiers, where Tipp’s most likely opponents on July 17 will be Offaly.
