TIPPERARY DUG DEEP to secure a place in a second successive Munster senior hurling final yesterday.
Despite being reduced to 14 men in the first-half, Michael Ryan’s side still coped and managed to see off Limerick in Semple Stadium.
It was a testament to their brilliant defensive effort and central to their success was the contribution of corner-back Cathal Barrett.
