Tipperary came from nine points down at half-time to earn an incredible draw with Cork in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship at Semple Stadium.
Jake Morris sealed a draw for Tipperary with the last puck of the game but it could have easily been a win for the Premier County if it wasn’t for an absolutely brilliant save from Cork goalkeeper Anthony Nash to deny John ‘Bubbles’ O’Dwyer.
The Tipp substitute pounced on a goalmouth scramble to drive his shot through the Cork defence and towards goal where Nash somehow extended his hurl to push the ball wide.
It mattered little in the end as Tipperary tagged on three late scores to tie the game up at 2-20 Cork 1-23 to give Michael Ryan’s side their first points of the championship following on from last week’s disappointing opening round loss to Limerick.
Tipperary will head to the Gaelic Grounds next week to take on Waterford while Cork will welcome Limerick to Páirc Uà Chaoimh as they look to get back to winning ways following their opening round win over Clare.
