Upperchurch-Drombane were 1-11 to 0-10 winners over fancied J K Brackens in the Tipperary senior football quarter-finals, reaching the last four in the competition for the first time in the club’s history. 

The decisive goal came in injury time in the first half when Paul Shanahan blasted home a penalty after JK Brackens goalkeeper Kuba Beben fouled Upperchurch’s Loughlin Ryan. That goal enabled Upperchurch to lead 1-4 to 0-4 at half-time.
