Carew content as Déise continue winning ways

Waterford 2-8 Tipperary 0-9

Robert Ahearne’s crucial second-half goal was somewhat fortunate however as Tipperary goalkeeper Paul Fitzgerald misjudged the flight of the ball and it bounced into the empty net.

“All these games are going to be tight,” Carew admitted. “We got a fortuitous goal when the ball hopped over the keeper but in saying that, we missed four or five scores.”
