The goal that set Tipperary on way

Eoin Kelly isn’t the kind of guy with memories of his glory days etched all over his walls. He reckons he might have two, maybe three, mementos of his time with Tipperary on display at home, but walk through the hallway of his parents’ house and your eye will likely alight on a cherished snapshot from Páirc Uí Chaoimh in 2008.

It’s no glossy print, merely an old newspaper clipping from the Monday after a memorable six-point win that ended a run of 85 years without a championship win for the Premier County down by the banks of the Lee.
