It finished Tipperary 2-13 Waterford 0-16 in their Division 1A encounter in Thurles.
Eamon O' Shea's side were patchy in the first-half and were 0-08 to 0-05 down at half-time.
But Seamus Callanan led the fight in the second half with 1-04, while goalkeeper Darren Gleeson scored a late goal from a long-range free, which somehow eluded Deise netminder Stephen O’Keeffe.
Elsewhere last night a point from Shane Dowling in the 75th minute earned Limerick a 0-17 all draw with Cork at Páirc Uí Rinn in Division 1B.
