Tipperary,Limerick,Munster U20 Hurling Championship

Tipperary's dominant display led them to a victory over Limerick in the O'Neills.com Munster U20 Hurling Championship. Darragh McCarthy's 1-9 contribution helped secure the win for Tipperary, leaving Limerick's championship hopes in jeopardy.

Tipperary 3-18 Limerick 1-17 A DOMINANT DISPLAY from Brendan Cummins’ Tipperary side got them off to the perfect start in the O’Neills.com Munster U20 Hurling Championship , and leave Limerick ’s championship hopes hanging by a thread, after a second defeat.

Evan Loftus would have been thrilled with the opening 10 minutes, which saw them lead 0-6 to 0-3. Long range efforts from Con Hayes, Cian Scully as well as two Oisin O’Farrell frees put them ahead. But this was as good as it got. Fintan Fitzgerald won a penalty to give Limerick hope, which Hugh Flanagan buried. But the swift Tipperary response, through an emphatic Oisin O’Donoghue finish left Limerick with major work to do. A second goal via a McCarthy penalty ensured a seven point difference on the scoreboard at half time, 2-12 to 1-8.

This goal from Senan Butler sealed the win, but they did lose Paddy McCormack to a straight red card after a high, dangerous challenge on Shane Fitzgibbon.
