Still standing amid the wreckage of beaten favourites, Holycross-Ballycahill survived a scare on a Tipperary SHC opening weekend which saw both of last year’s finalists defeated.

Robbie Ryan’s 68th-minute free nudged them to a 1-22 to 2-18 victory after Kilruane MacDonaghs after goalkeeper Páidí Williams received a straight red card for a loose swing on Eoin Craddock.
