Tipperary stand to attention for Amhrán na bhFiann
Played in front of 1,161 spectators Tipperary started brightly and owned the ball in the opening minutes and took the lead for the one and only time through a fine Ryan Lambe point in the fifth minute however the home side soon took over and controlled the game throughout.
With the wind at their backs Cork entered the break 0-11 to 0-3 to the good although with twenty minutes on the clock the score stood at 0-5 to 0-3 with Ríain Quigley and Conal Kennedy getting Tipperary’s second and third points and no one in attendance could have foreseen the chokehold Cork would have from here on in. In an eight minute spell Cork kicked six unanswered points and indeed could have had two goals also but for the cat-like reflexes of Kian Quinn in the Premier goal.
Tipperary needed to start brightly in the second period and they did just that through substitute Jack Delahunty who fired over two quick points but any hopes of a Premier revival were quickly put to bed. Cork quickly got into their stride and reeled off 1-9 to end Tipperary’s hopes in this contest with Cillian Myers Murray grabbing the game’s sole goal.
Scorers for Tipperary: Jack Delahunty 0-3 , Conal Kennedy (0-2) , Ryan Lambe (0-1), Riain Quigley (0-1), Brian Fitzpatrick (0-1).
Scorers for Cork: C Óg Jones (0-6), C Myers Murray (1-1), M Bradley (0-4), S Walsh (0-3), T Corkery and D Gore (0-2), A Browne (0-1) C Maguire (0-1).
