Watch: Templemore win first Harty Cup crown since 1978
Last year’s beaten finalists bridged a gap going back to 1978 (when Templemore CBS won, prior to amalgamation with the Sisters of Mercy) in emphatic style, with a 1-12 to 0-4 half-time lead as good as deciding the outcome.
Brian McGrath, captain of Tipperary’s All-Ireland minor-winning side last year, scored 1-7, 1-3 from play, but this was a display featuring a number of heroes. Centre-back and captain Paddy Cadell was a colossus, Stevie Nolan and Diarmaid Ryan excelled in midfield and left half-forward Jerry Kelly was peerless.
