Tipperary have retained their senior ladies football status in dramatic fashion.
Peter Creedon’s side defeated Cavan in Breffni Park on a final score to 2-06 to 1-08.
The Premier led 1-04 to 0-05 at half-time thanks to a goal from Emma Morrissey but Tipp didn’t register a score in the second half until the 52nd minute.
As the clock went into the second minute of injury time, Tipperary were two points down.
However, Tipp were awarded a penalty as a result of a high challenge which Emma Morrissey rifled into the top right hand corner.
The resulting Cavan kick-out saw the referee blow the full-time whistle giving Tipp the one-point win.
The result means Tipperary finish third in their group, avoiding the relegation playoff and will once again play senior football in 2023.
Emma Morrissey scored 2-04 of Tipp’s 2-06 whilst goalkeeper Lauren Fitzpatrick made a crucial penalty save in the second-half.
