Footballers complete great day for Tipp GAA fans

Tipperary 0-12 Wicklow 0-10

Brian Coen kicked 10 points today as 14-man Tipperary claimed a spot in next weekend's NFL Division 4 final, following this slender win against Wicklow at Ardfinnan.

The dismissal of Barry Grogan failed to halt the form of an impressive home side, with John Evans' men holding a 0-09 to 0-04 interval lead.

Coen and Niall Fitzgerald gave impressive performances as Antrim's loss to Waterford, coupled with this win, saw Tipperary leapfrog over the Saffrons and into a decider against neighbours Offaly.
