Photograph: Laszlo Geczo/InphoEvery league match means more to somebody and Tipperary made it clear from the beginning that this game had some value for them.
Limerick stirred themselves after a while and young Donnacha Ó Dalaigh showed more flashes of the promise he had displayed in Croke Park a fortnight ago with a sweet point . Aaron Gillane soon followed and Cian Lynch’s first score of the season brought the teams level.Tipperary were two points in front when they struck for the first goal of the game after half an hour. O’Connor flashed a sideline cut across field, in front of the Limerick goal, and Forde caught it beautifully.
Limerick’s response, though, was impressive and they rattled off the last four scores of the first half. Diarmuid Byrnes, who had been off-key from dead balls, landed a nice point from play and Gearóid Hegarty launched a beauty from 70 metres in first-half stoppage-time.
Just like for Tipperary’s first goal, though, Limerick’s response was emphatic and they reeled off the next four points without reply. Tipp had to work harder for their scores and they found themselves four points behind deep in stoppage-time when Tom Morrissey was turned over and Jake Morris rattled the net. The deficit was down to a point but there was no time for the puck-out.
