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.
