Tipperary SHC

Champions Loughmore-Castleiney were caught late by Kiladangan who forced an 0-18 each draw in the opening game of the FBD Insurance Tipperary senior hurling championship at Semple Stadium. Sub Conor Byrne rescued Kiladangan with his point after 63 minutes, Brian McGarth, two minutes earlier having put front-runners Loughmore in the lead once more.
