Tipperary storm up final stretch against Limerick

Tipperary 0-20 Limerick 0-17: A rousing finish from Tipperary – in which Liam Cahill’s charges hit four unanswered points in the final four minutes of action – put paid to Limerick’s Munster minor hurling three-in-a-row bid.

In a decidedly poor and error-ridden contest, points from Barry Murphy and the outstanding Peter Casey moved the defending champions into pole possession turning the bend for home. Ahead by 0-17 to 0-16 and having weathered several storms throughout the second period, momentum now rested in Limerick’s corner.

But Leo O’Connor’s young troops would fail to score from the 53rd minute onward, whereas the home outfit finished in a blaze of glory.
