Tipperary survived a massive scare as two late goals saw them overcome Waterford in the Munster Senior Football Championship quarter-final at FBD Semple Stadium on Sunday. When Darragh Corcoran goaled on the hour mark to put Waterford in front, a first Munster championship win in ten years was on the cards for the Deise, but Tipp responded well and goals from Stephen Quirke and Paudie Feehan in the closing fourteen minutes saw them to a much needed win.
Stand-in skipper Steven O’Brien marked his return from injury with Tipperary’s first three points of the game before Waterford settled with Darragh Corcoran and Dermot Ryan on the mark. O’Brien got on the end of a Donough Leahy floated pass to punch to the net and give Tipp a 1-5 to 0-5 half time lead.
The home side couldn’t shake off Waterford who stayed on Tipp’s coat-tails and looked to have timed their run perfectly when Corcoran shrugged off Shane O’Connell to fire to the net for a 1-8 to 1-7 lead.
