Tipp put in a very solid and cohesive display last weekend to give them two wins out of 2 and sets them up in a strong position as they travel away to Offaly next weekend.
Kilkenny were first to point from a free, but even facing a strong breeze Tipperary were winning all the important battles, setting up Noreen Flanagan and Alison Lonergan for two well taken goals. Kilkenny responded with their only other point of the half before a dominant Tipp took full control of the half with some very impressive scores and displays.
Tipperary emerged after the break just as determined and the visitors could only manage two more points and Tipp emerged with a solid performance all round. The half back line of Emma Spillane, Sabrina Larkin and Julie Kirwan performed brilliantly, shutting off any Kilkenny attack. Siobhan Ryan and Chrissie Kenny at midfield linked well with their forwards and Alison Lonergan and Ciara Johnston can be happy with their display in the Tipp jersey.
Manager Eoin Brislane is delighted with the panel’s work rate and is confident but cautious of the challenge Offaly will pose next weekend.
Tipperary - Christine Kenneally, Sheila Ryan, Siobhan O’Neill, Mairead Barry, Emma Spillane, Sabrina Larkin, Julie Kirwan, Siobhan Ryan (0.3), Noreen Flanagan (1.1), Siobhan McGrath (0.1), Jackie O’Connor (0.1), Elaine Hough ( 0.2), Ciara Johnston ( 0.4), Alison Lonergan (1.0).
Referee - Ger O’Donnell, Limerick.
