Madden breaks Tipperary hearts

CAVAN 0-17 TIPPERARY 2-10: Super-sub Conor Madden’s 75th-minute winner broke Tipp hearts and sent spirited Cavan back into the league’s top flight.

In a Division 2 cracker that always looked destined to go to the wire, gallant Tipp looked like making history for extended periods despite playing with just 14 men for the final 34 minutes of the game. But Madden had the final say.

“If you show up at training then we give you a chance and Conor had a super session on Thursday,” Cavan boss Marttie McGleenan declared.
