Tipp v Limerick

Late goals from substitute Conor Boylan and Aaron Gillane in the space of four minutes sealed the win for the All-Ireland champions. The result all but seals ...

The Treaty are guaranteed at least a third-place finish and place in the All-Ireland knockout stages. The in-form Limerick corner-forward jumped high above Cathal Barrett, before turning the Tipperary defender, blasting home from close-range, and putting nine points between the sides. At that stage, Limerick had gone 13 minutes without a score except two for frees from Gillane. Goals from substitute Conor Boylan and Gillane – his second goal of the game – then put the game to bed as Limerick eventually ran out comfortable seven-point winners in front of the 27,141 in attendance. By the 50th minute, Tipperary were three points ahead, but two scores in a row from Barry Nash and Tom Morrissey narrowed the deficit to one point with 15 minutes left on the clock. Late goals from substitute Conor Boylan and Aaron Gillane in the space of four minutes sealed the win for the All-Ireland champions.

"It was a long hard two years for me," Mike Casey said after being named Man of the Match in Limerick's victory over Tipperary in the Munster Hurling ...

He's going to be a hard nut to crack inside that defence." "[The message at half-time] was just to settle on the ball. Just settle on the ball, go back into a groove. "We can only focus on yourselves. That's the sort of group we have, we only focus on ourselves. The Limerick fullback sustained a knee injury ahead of the 2020 championship, and subsequently suffered setbacks during his recovery.

Limerick have made it three wins from three in the Munster Hurling Championship, securing their place in the provincial final in doing so. Tipperary meanwhile, ...

It was always going to be a massive battle. So just settle, and thank God we did in the second half.” So just settle on the ball, go back into our groove. We were maybe trying to do a bit too much at times. We can only focus on ourselves,” Casey said. Man of the match Mike Casey was speaking to RTE after the game and insisted that Limerick were unsurprised by the magnitude of the Tipperary challenge despite the Premier County’s poor form.
