Munster U21FC: Third time lucky for Tipp?
March 18, 2015
Dylan Fitzell, Ian Fahey, Jason Lonergan and TJ Ryan celebrate Tipperary Munster MFC final win.
Tipperary 0-15
Clare 0-7
Jason Lonergan raised five white flags as Tipperary qualified for their third Munster U21 FC final on the trot tonight.
The Colin O'Riordan captained Premier outfit proved too strong for neighbours Clare and they will renew acquaintances with holders Cork in the decider in Thurles on April 8th.
The hosts enjoyed a 0-7 to 0-4 interval lead and with the midfield partnership of Liam Casey and Steven O'Brien very much to the fore, they pulled away in the second half.
Senior hurler John McGrath also made the scoresheet as Tipp sent over four unanswered points in the closing stages.
