Two goals in quick succession on the 18th minute of the second half put Tipp in the lead by 2-9 to 10 points but a short time later Limerick worked their way back in with a goal on the 22nd minute followed by several points, putting them ahead in extra time.

Tipp got one back but the Treatymen prevailed and it ended Limerick 1-17, Tipperary 2-12
