The Déise signed off with their best showing of the Championship.
TIPPERARY WERE left with Limerick to thank for keeping their Championship dreams alive although their Munster final hopes were ended after Waterford exposed a flat Premier performance.
There were five injury-enforced changes, with Cathal Barrett and Jake Morris missing out for Tipperary, while Conor Prunty, Jamie Barron, and Austin Gleeson were absent for Waterford. Nolan’s role relieved Jack Fagan to advance more from wing-back and he clipped three points inside the first dozen minutes, while the Ballygunner inside duo of Dessie Hutchinson and Patrick Fitzgerald were causing all sorts of problems to add another three each.
They were out-shot by 20 to 7 but the scoreline didn’t fully reflect that gap, 0-12 to 0-7, until Waterford landed their next five to move 10 ahead. Conor Bowe raced in on goal from the puck-out and though Shaun O’Brien saved, Tipp struck the next five, with Bowe’s long-ranger cutting the gap to five, while Mark Kehoe was adjudged to have overcarried when closing in on the posts.
