Tipperary SFC: Conor Ryan earns Loughmore late draw on hectic day of championship action

Conor Ryan kicked two late points to earn last year’s beaten finalists Loughmore-Castleiney a 0-10 each draw with neighbours JK Brackens in round 2 of the Tipperary SFC.

Brackens made all the running to lead 0-4 to 0-2 at the water-break and 0-9 to 0-4 at half-time, Jack Kennedy, Lorcan Roche and Conor Cadell were their main men. Loughmore reeled them in in the third quarter, reducing the deficit to two at the second water break. Brackens looked as though they might hold out but Conor Ryan saved the day for Loughmore, the result leaving both unbeaten after two games.
