Shane Hennessy and Michael Donnellan’s side welcomed Clare to Templetuohy in their must win phase 1 encounter in the Munster championship.
The Banner led by ten points early in the second half and when the clock ticked past 60 minutes, the home side were 6 points behind.
However points from captain Ned O’Meara, Reuben Grace and a two pointer from O’Meara set the stage for the comeback which was completed when Dylan McCormack scored a goal from a 68th minute penalty which was followed by jubilant celebrations.
Full time score 1-14 to 1-12.
The victory means Tipp qualify for the Daryl Darcy cup final next Monday where they will play Clare once again, with both teams qualifying for phase 2 of the Munster championship where Cork and Kerry enter the competition.
