Tipperary SHC: Drom-Inch dump holders Loughmore-Castleiney out of championship 

Drom-Inch, who last held the title in 2011, deserved their win. They led all the way but they too were guilty of some bad shooting.

Holders Loughmore-Castleiney bowed out of the Tipperary senior hurling championship when losing 0-21 to 0-18 to Mid-division rivals Drom-Inch in the quarter-final at Semple Stadium on Saturday. 

Without injured inter-county stars John McGrath and Ciaran Connolly, Loughmore were dealt a further body blow when centre halfback John Meagher had to retire after thirteen minutes with a damaged hamstring, but it was the number of gilt-edged scoring opportunities they wasted that ultimately cost them the game.
