Jake Dillon: star turn
Waterford 2-16 Tipperary 1-13
Waterford staved off a superb second half comeback from Tipperary to prevail in an entertaining Munster Championship encounter at Walsh Park on Wednesday evening.
Having gone 21 minutes without a score, a brace of late Jake Dillon points, soon followed by substitute Micheal Harney’s injury time goal ensured a semi-final meeting with Limerick.
Rueing their full-time total of 17 wides, Tipp had stubbornly hauled themselves back into proceedings thanks to a comeback catalysed by Jason Forde’s goal from a 21-metre free after 43 minutes.
