Loughmore-Castleiney came up with the most unlikely of match-winners as goalkeeper Aidan McGrath landed a last-puck point to begin their Tipperary SHC title defence with a victory.

The dual champions led neighbours Drom & Inch all the way until the 63rd minute, when Séamus Callanan won and buried a 21-yard free to the net.
