Whatever happens in the next game – for Cork in Ennis and for Tipp against Limerick – both of them are guaranteed to have a chance of qualifying on the final day of the round robin. We came down with the real emphasis of having a good defensive performance.” Look, when you give away four goals you probably don’t deserve to win a game either. “Very proud of how the Tipperary players responded to every sucker blow that came from Cork. “An exciting game, a game with a lot of skill in it but also a lot of errors I suppose and that contributed to such drama,” said Liam Cahill. As you can imagine, Tipp had a different view of Cork’s goals. Having failed to score a goal in their opening game Cork were clearly minded to address that omission, and in the first 10 minutes alone they created three clear goalscoring opportunities. Séamus Kennedy, Alan Tynan and Noel McGrath took control in the middle third of the field and Cork lost all of the directness that had characterised their play in the early stages. In a 15-minute spell they swamped Cork by 0-10 to 0-1, including six unanswered points in a row. When Tipp ramped up their aggression in the middle of the first half, and blitzed Cork with turnovers and overloads, they went on a rampage of scoring. But they had 10 different scorers from play, and Mark Kehoe once again made a huge contribution off the bench. They lost Jason Forde to a hamstring injury after just 16 minutes, and they couldn’t replace his exceptional efficiency from dead balls. “Fellahs will always say that Cork are good going downhill but I thought we played very well today playing uphill.”įor the second game in row Tipp conceded a big score, and that will concern them, but they have such firepower at the other end of the field that they will have a puncher’s chance against anybody.
“In fairness to our fellahs, there were a lot of times there when we were hurling uphill,” said Pat Ryan.

The Cork attack was disarmed for long stretches of the second half and it was hard to see a way back.Ĭallanan recovered his composure to gather the ball and put Tipp in front again, but from the next puck out Shane Kingston brought Cork level for the last time.Ĭork's Patrick Horgan in action during the game against Tipperary at Pairc Uí Chaoimh. In both halves Tipp went five points clear, and even allowing for hurling’s berserk volatility, Tipp were on top in every way that mattered. Cork lost the lead in the 13th minute and never regained it. When the dust settles Tipp will know they let this game slip. All of a sudden points and goals were traded up and down the field like nobody knew their value. Including stoppage-time, the closing 15 minutes were dazzling and intoxicating and completely at odds with the pleasant plainness of the first hour.
HALF LIFE SOURCE HAMMER FREE
After a late blizzard of scores they fell exhausted into each other’s arms, all square.īoth teams missed a long-range free to maybe win the game, deep in stoppage-time, but it would have been a travesty if a game like this had been decided in the end by a dead ball.
On a breathless night, in front a massive crowd, a match that had been firmly in Tipperary’s grip exploded in fireworks until every outcome was possible. For all the menacing advances in Artificial Intelligence this game would have been beyond the understanding of the latest generation chatbot too. The last 10 or 15 minutes were such an assault on the senses that there was no reasonable way to process every whiplash turn and turnaround. After a game like this addled first responses are unreliable but it is a blissful ignorance.
