Terrific Tipp continue charge up pecking order

Tipperary 2-17 Longford 0-6

At Páirc Uí Chaoimh, they had been ahead in stoppage time before dual star Aidan Walsh performed late heroics to get the Rebels out of jail.

Tipp could have folded the tent, bowed tamely out of the qualifiers and reflected upon a season that has seen them gain promotion from Division 4 of the Allianz League and achieve a first victory in the Munster SFC since 2003.
