Gaelic Park in the Bronx

Tipperary 4-17 Galway 1-8

 

Tipperary had it all their way in an easy win over Galway at the Mecca on Sunday in a senior hurling contest that did nothing to clear up the seedings for the three teams in the playoffs.

Galway will be in the semifinal as we know, but it will take the result from next week’s Galway vs. Offaly encounter to decide who wins the group, and who comes second. If Offaly win they are through to final.

This game was an easy one for Tipp in contrast to the last game between these sides that ended up a draw. By the 15th minute Tipp had a 3-6 to 0-2 lead, with Niall Curtain and Liam Costelloe showing clean pairs of heels to their markers.

Curtain had 1-3 at this point, with Costello grabbing the other two goals. Such was their dominance the best play of the first half belonged to Galway goalie Ger Corcoran when he made a fantastic save from Coss.

The center access of John Madden, Dave Loughnane and Kieran Bergin was showering chances on their forwards while also negating and chances in the other direction. They limited Galway to 1-3 in the first half as they easily put distance between the sides.

The second half, even though it was shortened, was more of the same, with Tipp running out easy winners.

Tipperary: 1 Thomas O’Meara, 2 Joe Lane, 4 Tom King, 5 Jayson O’Callaghan, 6 Kieran Bergin, 7 Steve Lillis, 8 Dave Loughnane, 9 Ger Magner, 10 Paudie Ryan, 11 John Madden, 12 Tadgh Slevin, 13 Liam Costello, 15 Niall Curtain. Subs: John Cantwell, David O’Neill, Gary O’Donaghue.

Galway: 1 Ger Corcoran, 2 Mike Kearney, 4 John Glynn, 5 Glenn Galvin, 6 Seamus Pender, 7 Brian Gardiner, 8 Mickey Costello, 9 Thomas Gillen, 10 Darragh Walsh, 11 Ronan Sheedy, 12 Ger Kelly, 13 Brian Nolan, 15 Neil McMorrow. Subs: Tadgh Lyons, Ray Duggan, Cathal Tracey.
