Tipperary crush Waterford to book date with Kerry
By Jackie Cahill at Semple Stadium | Updated: Sunday, 31-5-15
Waterford were no match for Tipp
Tipperary 1-24 Waterford 0-05
Tipperary demolished Waterford by 22 points in their Munster SFC quarter-final in Thurles.
The Premier County had ten different scorers on the day as they set up a semi-final clash with provincial and All-Ireland champions Kerry in a fortnight.
The only black spot on a bright afternoon for Tipperary was the sight of U21 star and 2014 All Star nominee Colin O’Riordan hobbling off with a hip injury in the second half.
O’Riordan was one of three U21s on senior duty, along with goalkeeper Evan Comerford and Steven O’Brien, who bagged six points from play.
Despite playing against the breeze in the first half, the hosts led by 1-13 to 0-03 at the break, with six different players contributing to the scoresheet.
O’Brien was immense at midfield, clipping over three points in each half, but he wasn’t alone as the hosts outclassed Waterford with hard running from all areas of the pitch.
Tipp’s goal was scored by Michael Quinlivan in the 25th minute, as the Commercials forward fisted home from close range after Conor Sweeney’s attempted point from a free struck the upright.
As Tipp ran riot, Waterford managed just three points in the first half, two from Michael O’Halloran and a JJ Hutchinson free.
Tipp led by six points before Waterford managed their first score, popped over by O’Halloran in the 13th minute.
But Tipp’s goal increased the daylight between the teams and Creedon’s slick charges could have one or two more.
Brian Fox was narrowly wide with a 21st-minute effort and Robbie Kiely’s intelligent running from deep created other chances that could have led to more.
After Conor Sweeney opened the scoring for Tipp with a free in the very first minute, it was the proverbial turkey shoot from there.
O’Brien had his three first-half points scored by the 11th minute and Sweeney also finished the half with a trio of scores.
But Quinlivan was the star turn in an attacking sense, registering 1-03 in the opening half as Tipp made sure that this one was done and dusted from a long way out, 13 points clear at the midway point.
In front of 1,641 spectators, Tipp picked up where they had left off after half-time, registering the first five scores of the second half.
Peter Acheson, O’Brien, Austin, Seamus Kennedy and George Hannigan were all on target before Waterford stalwart Shane Briggs, beginning his 14th championship campaign, opened Waterford’s second-half account in the 51st minute.
But Tom McGlinchey’s desperately poor Waterford managed just one more point for the remainder of the game, a Hutchinson free, as Tipp piled on the misery.
Tipperary: E Comerford; P Codd, C McDonald, R Kiely; A Campbell, P Acheson (0-01), S Kennedy (0-01); S O’Brien (0-06), G Hannigan (0-02); G Mulhaire (0-01), C O’Riordan, P Austin (0-03); C Sweeney (0-03, 2f), M Quinlivan (1-03, 0-1f), B Fox (0-03).
Subs: J Lonergan (0-01) for O’Riordan (42), B Grogan for Quinlivan (44), L Casey for Sweeney (58), B Mulvihill for Fox (58), A Morrissey for Acheson (64), S Flynn for Mulhaire (66).
Waterford: S Barron; T Ó hUallacháin, T O’Gorman; M O’Gorman; D Crowley, S Briggs (0-01), L Lawlor; P Hurney, T Prendergast; M Ferncombe, M O’Halloran (0-02), JJ Hutchinson (0-02f); M Curry, P Whyte, J Veale.
Subs: L Ó’Lonáin for Curry (h.t.), C O’Keeffe for Hurney (49), S Prendergast for Ferncombe (51), R O’Ceallaigh for Whyte (59).
Referee: R Hickey (Clare)

Tipp will take a bit of watching in this game. Might be interesting if Kerry are anyway ropey coming into the tie. Tipp seem to have overtaken the rest of rest in Munster football.

If Kerry beat Waterford by that scoreline we'd be impressed. Tipp away will be a serious test.

I agree, this is definitely a tricky game. These Tipp players are used to winning and will have plenty of confidence. However, with the right attitude and application we still need to be winning with at least 5 points to spare.

Just because were Kerry doesn't mean we'll win... Stephen O'Brien was the most underrated player in that Tipp U21 team. He was often in the shadow of Colin O'Riordan, but today he showed his class kicking 6 points so David Moran or Anthony Maher have to keep a close eye on him.. Quinlivan is a class act and recent years in under age level he has tormented Kerry sides. I fully expect this Tipp team to be close to us for 50 minutes or so before our experience will get us into another Munster final.

We by no means guaranteed to win this game at all.
I think tipp are a serious force now and perhaps the best team out there, outside the regular top teams.

This game will be tougher than many outside Kerry think.
We are normally rusty in the early rounds and I don't think we can afford to be in this game.
Hope a good crowd travel to support the team

Tipperary today are probably five points better than a certain former perennial "Top 8" team.
The only difference is that Tipp can actually kick scores. I think they are a live threat in Thurles.

Tipperary today are probably five points better than a certain former perennial "Top 8" team. The only difference is that Tipp can actually kick scores. I think they are a live threat in Thurles. We can revisit these opinion if Tipp contest the next 4 All-Ireland quarter finals, come within the paint work of contesting an All-Ireland final and go toe to toe with teams like Dublin and Donegal in the championship at the business end of the summer. That takes a fair amount of imagination to see happening from a div 3-4 NFL team to achieve. You would think they would need to be consistently at the top end of div 2 with a number of seasons in div 1 first. At the end of the day, NFL football and a teams position in it indicates their true value in terms of their championship strength. No div 3-4 team will contest consistently at the business end of the championship. However the up coming Thurles tie will be Tipp's All-Ireland final this year, coming on the back of their All-Ireland minor win in 2011 and the recent u21 final. If Kerry are ropey it could be a tight affair. |

Can someone tell me if the GAA have rules regarding stadia which can be used for Championship games? I think they do. The reason I ask if that I remember Kerry getting a right fright in Clonmel in 1996, and you would imagine it would make sense for Tipp footballers to play there, which is more of a football area than Thurles, and a tighter pitch. But I can't remember them using Clonmel in a long time.
This is a tricky tie. I can't see Kerry being complacent as such, but the cobwebs could be a factor.
I'll have a go at naming the team
Brian Kelly
Marc O Se
Mark Griffin
Paul Murphy
Fionn Fitzgerald
Peter Crowley
Killian Young
Anthony Maher
David Moran
Tommy Walsh
Colm Cooper
Johnny Buckley
Bryan Sheehan
Kieran Donaghy
Paul Geaney
I can imagine that Eamonn will go very close to playing the first team. I think that he may start Tommy Walsh with a view to later in the year, even though he may not be strictly speaking first choice.
On a wider level, I for one am glad that we are looking forward to a tricky game. Tipperary have made great strides, and though we all want Kerry to win, it would be very healthy for Tipp to win a Munster Championship in the next few years.

Twice in recent years we've lost to Ulster opposition in Quarter Finals where they were battle-hardened after a competitive provincial championship and qualifiers and we came in cold, got the fright of our lives and ended up losing. In the last 2 years we got lucky draws for Quarters being drawn against Cavan and Galway. This year if we get past Tipp and Cork and win Munster after 2 tough games we'll be prepared to take on anyone in the Quarters. |

In the league Tipp conceded 11 goals and 67 points. No-one conceded more goals but only Offaly out of the other 32 teams conceded less points.
The two teams who finished ahead of them and who were promoted both won their games by scoring goals.
Armagh 2-8 Tipperary 0-13
Fermanagh 2-9 Tipperary 0-11
They did lose to Wexford by 2 points in their last league game, but in that game they had very much a 2nd string line-up out as promotion wasn't a possibility. Their league campaign was also disrupted by the fact that a serious chunk of their team were involved with the U21s (who probably should have won the final)
They conceded 4 goals in two championship games last year - against Laois (which they still won) and against Galway (which they lost.)Cork were haunted to beat them last year in the championship.
Also in light of the results yesterday, it's worth remembering that Tipp beat Longford by 19 points in the championship last year.
Basically this is a very different team to previous generations of Tipp football teams and I'm expecting a right battle.

2014 FOOTBALL QUALIFIER
Galway 4-17 Tipperary 4-12
Two goals in five minutes before half-time from Galway midfield duo Fiontán Ó Curraoin and Tom Flynn were followed by two more from Danny Cummins and Michael Lundy as the westerners picked up a 4-17 to 4-12 round 4A football qualifier win over Tipperary in Tullamore.
Goals for Tipperary, from Brian Mulvihill, Brian Fox, Colin O'Riordan and a Conor Sweeney penalty in the last six minutes meant Galway's lead was well trimmed in the end, but they had the work done at that stage.
Up to Ó Curraoin's goal in the 33rd minute Tipperary had held the upper hand for most of the first-half, but Galway took control in the moments before half-time and eased to the win.
Alan Mulholland's side will now face Kerry in the All-Ireland quarter-final on 3 August.
Both teams struggled to find their range in the early moments but Galway skipper Paul Conroy got the scoreboard rolling with an excellent point off his left in the sixth minute.
Peter Acheson hit back soon after for Tipp, and after Michael Martin pushed Galway a point clear, two quick points form Acheson and Conor Sweeney saw Tipperary take a 0-3 to 0-2 lead.
Danny Cummins slotted a point from a tight angle to level matters in the 15th minute, but Peter Creedon's side added another rapid-fire brace of scores from Stephen O'Brien from distance and Barry Grogan in the 21st minute.
But from there Tipp would only kick one more point before the break as Galway began to play some entertaining football. Firstly Conroy pointed after Cummins laid off the ball instead of taking a half goal-chance, and Shane Walsh hooked over the leveller after some super ball control skills.
And two minutes from the break Martin and Conroy linked up well as the captain's quick hands sent Ó Curraoin in on goal, before Flynn made it 2-7 to 0-7 at the interval with another crisp, low finish.
Fifty seconds after the restart Cummins rattled the Tipp net for the third time, and Lundy followed suit just over a minute later following good work from Martin and Conroy.
Fox rattled home a fine Tipperary goal in the 47th minute, but Galway eased to the win as Paul Varley, Walsh and Sean Armstrong all kicked late points, all of which were needed as Brian Mulvihill, Colin O'Riordan and Conor Sweeney all goaled for Tipp late on.
Galway: T Healy; D O'Neill, F Hanley, J Moore; G Bradshaw, G O'Donnell, P Varley (0-01); F Ó Curraoin (1-00), T Flynn (1-00); M Lundy (1-01), S Walsh (0-05, 0-03f), J Kavanagh; M Martin (0-03), P Conroy (0-03), D Cummins (1-01).

Team selection will obviously depend on injury situation and we have a number of major concerns on that front which could make the Thurles game even more challenging. it will be a good test for Kerry early in the season - one that should stand to them (assuming they get through it) for July 5th.

Powerful half back line. Full back line bit of concern. Does TW have place in defense, assume not. Brian and free taking, the perennial question. All other lines look v solid |

Not a Kealy fan at all, never have been. Call me traditional but for me being solid under the high ball is a key part of being a top keeper, especially since the square ball rule has been relaxed. And that's a basic that Kelly has and Kealy doesn't. He has cost us goals because of this. Surprised to hear he isn't even getting on for his club but it tells its own story I suppose.
