Late Commercials salvo denies Killenaule

Clonmel Commercials 2-9 Killenaule 0-8... Two goals in the closing seven minutes swept favourites Clonmel Commercials to victory over Killenaule in a well-contested Tipperary senior football final at Semple Stadium, Thurles yesterday.

Late Commercials salvo denies Killenaule

Killenaule were in the final for the first time, and with 11 minutes to go were level with the Munster Club champions of 2015, but in the final minutes Commercials found an extra gear, goals by substitute Richie Gunne and Jamie Peters tipping a finely balanced game in their favour.

It was Commercials’ 17th title and first since 2015, and the win sees them go forward to face All-Ireland club champions Dr Crokes of Kerry in the Munster Club championship, as the Clonmel lads bid to go one better than in 2015 when they were beaten in the All-Ireland Club final.
