Hennessy saves day as Tipp marathon drags on

Cahir 1-10 Loughmore-Castleiney 2-7

If it’s anything like the entertainment served up by the teams in Cashel’s Leahy Park, then there will be more festive cheer and another reasonable crowd like the 1,550 yesterday. But surely extra-time should have been an option for what is an already ridiculously elongated competition.

In the end, it was Cian Hennessy’s point which sealed another day out after Cahir seemed to be turning the match in their favour with a booming Benny Hickey free in the 54th minute.
