Grogan the ace for Tipp

STAR forward Barry Grogan kicked nine points as Tipperary boosted their survival hopes with an impressive win at Semple Stadium.

And if results go their way next Sunday, the Premier County could even be celebrating promotion back to Division 2.

A disciplined defensive performance from the hosts restricted Wexford to just three points from play before a meagre attendance of 336. At the other end, Grogan was Tipp’s matchwinner again but there were solid displays from the home side as Philip Austin’s tireless display was rewarded with three points from play.
