Success breeds success as Tipp turn up the heat

Tipperary’s greater scoring power was the key factor as they overcame Cork Rebel Óg to capture the Humphrey Kelleher Memorial Cup at Millstreet on Saturday.

At key stages, the Premier county underlined their unwavering resolve that a battling Cork side failed to match. Playing a fast and fluent brand of football, Tipperary’s excellent fielding and swift pass was rewarded with excellent scores as they collected the trophy for the second occasion in three years.

A delighted team manager Tommy Sheehan said: “We had two tricky games from Kerry South and the second Cork team to reach the decider,” he said.
