Summary

edit

Tipperary, captained by Declan Carr and managed by Babs Keating, won the replay by 4-19 to 4-15 on 21 July in Semple Stadium, after coming back from nine points down, Cork had led by 3-13 to 1-10 with just a quarter of the game remaining. Aidan Ryan's late goal into the corner of the net sparked a pitch invasion from the Killinan End. Cork has a 2-8 to 1-7 lead at halftime in the replay.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The replay was described by the Irish Independent in 2014 and 2015 as one of the best games of hurling ever to be played.[7][8]
