Summary

In the Munster championship, Tipperary played Limerick in the semi-finals on 10 June, with the game ending in a draw 1-19 to 1-19. [4] The replay was held six days later with manager Babs Keating dropping goalkeeper Brendan Cummins from the team and replacing him with Gerry Kennedy. [5] Tipperary had a ten point lead at one stage, however, by the end of the seventy minutes both sides were level once again. A period of extra-time failed to separate the two sides and so a second replay was required. [6] Once again extra-time had to be played, however, after nearly four hours of hurling Limerick emerged as the winners by 0-22 to 2-13. [7]

The All-Ireland qualifiers saw Tipperary win all of their games, including a victory over Cork for the first time since 1991. [8]

Tipperary went on to play Wexford in the All-Ireland quarter-finals on 28 July at Croke Park. A goal from a free by Damien Fitzhenry in the last minute sealed the victory for Wexford and eliminated Tipperary from the championship. It was Wexford's first win in the championship against Tipperary since 1968. [9] [10] Keating resigned as manager on 7 August. [11] [12] [13]
