Tipperary 5-19
Waterford 0-13
TIPPERARY RETAINED THEIR Munster senior hurling crown at their ease this afternoon at the Gaelic Grounds, putting five goals past Waterford and storming into an All-Ireland semi-final on 14 August.
John McGrath struck 3-2 and Seamus Callanan hit 1-11 as Waterford were unable to handle the Tipperary attacking duo.
Michael Ryan saw his team run out 21-point winners, equaling the victory margin Tipperary recorded against Waterford in the 2011 Munster final.
It was a remarkable outcome given that the first-half had been tightly contested with Tipperary narrowly in front at the interval as they possessed a 1-7 to 0-8 advantage.
McGrath struck the only goal of the first-half in the 9th minute, availing of a mis-control by goalkeeper Stephen O’Keeffe.
Waterford had started brightly but they went 20 minutes without scoring in the first-half and recorded 10 wides.
And Tipperary emerged from the second-half to put the game to bed as they hit three goals in the space of eight minutes that ruined Waterford’s hopes of glory.
McGrath kicked to the net in the 41st minute, set up Michael Breen for a fine strike three minutes left before raising a green flag from a penalty after Callanan was fouled by Barry Coughlan.
Waterford’s miserable afternoon was complete when Callanan crashed home Tipperary’s fifth goal as the Premier ran out comfortable winners.
Scorers for Tipperary: Seamus Callanan 1-11 (0-8f, 0-1 ’65), John McGrath 3-2 (1-0 pen), Michael Breen 1-1, Padraic Maher, Patrick Maher, Noel McGrath, Jason Forde, Aidan McCormack 0-1 each.
Scorers for Waterford: Pauric Mahony 0-6 (0-4f), Patrick Curran 0-5 (0-3f), Austin Gleeson 0-2 (0-2 sideline).

Has to be said that Fergi was some manager. Moyes to me isn’t doing any wrong it just seems fergie put that extra bite in their game when he was in charge
As a United fan, I am thoroughly looking forward to this relegation battle.
At least the Seanad referendum will take some of the heat off Moyes.
We are down 1-0 already ….. ffs starting to realise what it must be like being a liverpool fan
We’re on top, now I know what its like to be a manure fan!
You’ll need to win another two European cups before you understand what it’s like to be a Liverpool fan Jonny :)
Or go without winning the league in 23 years.
26..
And not just win more european cups, but dominate Europe…
@Graham 20, TWENTY. Can you count to twenty? Including 13 premier leagues. Pool have never won a premier league. What a joke of a club. I hope your season falls flat on its face. @Nelly U talk some amount of shite on the Journal.
Can you subtract? Here I’ll help you,
2013
-1990
=23
Idiots, how many years did man u go without winning? I know many since Liverpool won…
You’re an idiot
A bit slow Graham? 13 + 7 = 20. So I’m talking about Man United’s total history of titles. Maybe read my comment again and reply when you work it out. Anyway I understand that you are an extremely bitter Liverpool “fan” just like so many others out there.
Planet, my response was to Karol 23 years, 26 for united, without winning… Got that? And you said Liverpool never won premiership, my response was history only start with premiership? Understand. Karol the less said about you the better… Have nice day, we both won, no unbeaten teams left, looks like an open league this year…
Also, I am here when we lose, enjoying the banter, have not seen you guys for a few weeks…. karol you disappeared…. Why you ‘fans’ not here defending your team when you lose? My opinion on Moyes is nothing. Man U should have made Giggs manager….
I’m on every single football thread. Ask Nelly the elephant.
Sorry, fair play if ya are, but after the Pool, southampton game, you were kinda gone…. I called out for you in one of those man u games, v man city i thinks does I.
Jamie Redknapp’s voice is grating on my brain.
1 nil! Sunderland!
1-2 United!!
Oh I went out, well… Well done, as said last week, you hammered a managerless, bottom team…good result…
“We’re on top, now I know what its like to be a manure fan!”
Well we won numpty, so it must have felt bitter for you!
You dumbass. Boasting about being top. Just wait till your inevitable tumble starts.
Name calling from a dumb dumbass…. I am happy with our start but I know our goals…. If you cannot tell the difference with sarcasm, in response to the sarcastic comment made, you are what the first sentence is.
Read over the majority of your posts. It typifies exactly what you are. Thick as sh#t
Having fun dummy… Like the majority of you tossers who show up on ‘pool threads when we lose, having a lil laugh at your expense…. Jeez you people only come out when you win… Look at as many of my comments as you want, I am enjoying this…. Like many fans, its nice to watch you suffer, and now no fergie or refs to help you out, will be an eventful season…
Relegation 6 pointer, Utd to lose 9-1.
Moyes In
Yea, hes doing great so far, for 19 teams…
I think Gollum’s lost the dressing room already,Liverpool top of the league,it’s all good
The kid is class. Wish the rest of them would step up!
The kid’s a bit special.
As a united fan I think their going to get relegated
Some fan you are.
Like I said before popey most united supporters jumped on the band wagon when united started doing well and will just as easily see them jump to another team.no loyalty
Is that what you did nelly ..
Nope.its good to see united supporters about commenting after a game.usually they go into hiding after the final whistle.i suppose they won today thats probably why.
Phew,
You’re alright Nelly. Was worried there for a minute.
Im ok popey don’t be worrying.
Excellent
Wish this was in the pub… Would make for good slagging…
Kagawa left on the bench again? Moyes is clueless
Hold the phone, where’s Nelly?
Ok I’m getting worried now
Sunderland 3 man utd 1 (og) moyes is a great manager,sacked by Christmas.
Og off ref…
very happy with the defence and great to see rvp up front wit rooney and januzi and nani shud impress on the wings … utd to score 4
Januzaj in…..about time
What about January?
Getting me in the mood for Hobbit 2.
Nani instead of Kagawa ! Moyes is not helping himself doing things like that ! Kagawa is very clever player who needs a run of 10 games in a row & nani has no brain & has had vet 5 years to get his act together ! UTD’s midfield is getting worse ! Cleverley does nothing positive & is crap ! Carrick is always average/good ! Nani is a headless chicken(with a new 5 year deal) :( januzaj looks special ! And then u have vidic, Ferdinand & evra are all over the place ! Van persie is suffering cause of the way moyes sets up the team to defend too deep. Without Rooney utd would be in the bottom 3 ! The board needs to support moyes big time in January !
Every time the camera focuses on van Persie I have to look away from the scree as your guaranteed he is going to blow snots
Give gollum a contract extension!
United not great so far. But hey lads 10 points only 6 off the top and now international break. Longer united stay close be worried. Carrick is a good player. Stats say so and your eyes should also tell you that. Don’t think nani or Anderson are and not sure cleverly is ever going to be top drawer. Moyes need a year to be judged and i think the man is made of right stuff and the board need to back him to the hilt. Next summer. Top four by may.
#moyesin
Now moyes, lets see what your team is made of, ferguson’s team would battle from one nil down to win, what is your team made of…
2-1 great win for united, but without yer man(cant even pronounce his name) who had 2 special goals united are very average. Carrick and cleverley are way overated in my opinion. Will be interesting to see how much time moyes will get to improve this squad.
Come on Sunderland & MUNICH to beat Leverkusen at 5:30 also…..
Will Zaha score today?? Its terrible that his manager does not want to see him score…
Was at the leverkusen game last week, handy going forward but bayern might be too strong for them.
Shocking utd
Very scrappy still from utd,the likes of Stoke or Fulham would have easy beaten them today,terrible performance.
Get it together utd,Sunderland midfield will get tired.
United were rubbish. Should have been beaten
Dry those peeps
Moyes is clueless , Sunderland are running midfield and he still can’t see it, he needs to change it, and won’t or can’t – we are getting bullied around ye field
If we lose Moyes has to be looked at as a problem- this team won the league- blaming not knowing ur best team- is a poor excuse, failure in the transfer market is a poor excuse for this style of play
Players of this skill level don’t get bad overnight – so u can blame the way there made play
Lose and Moyes – it might be better to walk before ur career is over
Players of what skill level. Ye won a poor league last season. Cleverly nani. Great players. Get a grip of yourself. Fergie saw the light
I smell a scouse.
I smell manure…
That smell is the garbage that comes from your mouth you muppet. Can’t wait to watch your rubbish team start to crumble as per usual
Speaking of crumbling…
Irish people calling each other scouses and mancs… #tosssers
Do you just copy everything I’ve said about you? I’m not surprised though.
I cannot answer that I guess, will be accused of copying :)
Where’s my Wilson question? It was valid… When I get nervous I p from….
Good performance.
