Tigerish Tipperary’s whirlwind finish overhauls Dublin

Tipperary 2-17 Dublin 1-15: When eventually the Dublin dam gave way, Liam Cahill’s young charges flooded through to devastating effect – seven-points in the final 12 minutes comfortably progressing Tipperary to the All-Ireland minor final.

Trailing by 1-14 to 2-10 on 48 minutes, the Munster champions hurled up a storm in the closing quarter to out-score their opponents by 0-7 to 0-1.

Dublin corner-back Conor Ryan had taken up the role of sweeper from the off and the concession of two first-half goals aside, Johnny McGuirk’s side had been relatively successful in containing the opposition attack.
