Sweeney on song as champions down Déise
John Evans will bring his senior charges to the Dungarvan venue on Saturday night for a crucial Division 3 league tie and he will be heartened by this U21’s showing last night. Tipperary entered this game in the novel position of defending champions and lived up to that status with a polished performance.
There were only 585 souls present for the first ever inter-county tie played under floodlights at the Fraher Field and they witnessed a severely lopsided affair. Tipperary’s reserves of strength were illustrated by the fact that they lined out without three members of their 2010 triumphant side. Dara Dwyer and Alan Moloney were both sidelined with injury while Gavin Ryan was only fit enough to start on the bench before being introduced during the second-half. But Tipperary made light of those absences as they controlled the flow of the game.
