Limerick find another gear to break Tipperary hearts in extra time

Limerick 0-16 - Tipperary 0-14 (aet): Limerick won a dramatic EirGrid Munster U21 football championship quarter-final at the Gaelic Grounds last night, coming good in extra-time to stun Declan Browne’s Tipperary.

In a quite dramatic game, with cards aplenty, Tipp had Emmet Moloney and Willie Connors sent off in normal time, before influential midfielder Jack Kennedy and Jordan Moloney were dismissed on black cards in extra-time. Limerick also lost Josh Ryan to a red card in stoppage time at the end of the regulation hour, but Tipp finished the Gaelic Grounds tussle with 14 players, having used six subs when Moloney was black-carded.

That allowed Limerick to come from three points down and finish with a flourish to set up a semi-final clash with Cork next week.
