Tipperary hold on despite late Wexford rally

By Shane BrophyTipperary 3-21 Wexford 1-21: Tipperary were forced to withstand a late Wexford rally as Patrick Maher’s injury time goal sealed victory for the home side in a rip-roaring round 3 Allianz Hurling League Division 1A clash at Semple Stadium this evening.

It was the visitors who began the brighter in their first League visit to Thurles since 2011 and hit the first three points inside five minutes from a Lee Chin and two from play from midfielder Kevin Foley.
