CORK WERE PEGGED back by Tipperary for a draw in a thrilling Semple Stadium clash but they could be thankful to the intervention of their goalkeeper that they did not finish with nothing to show for their efforts in Thurles.
Anthony Nash showed his worth between the posts for Cork with a couple of incredible saves.
With Tipperary trailing 1-23 to 2-17 in the 67th minute, Nash produced this stunning stop to prevent substitute John O’Dwyer from whipping home Tipperary’s third goal.
And while the Kanturk man was beaten by Jason Forde and Noel McGrath in either half for Tipperary goals, he also denied Patrick Maher from close range with a great reflex save in the early stages of the match.
