TIPPERARY BOUNCED BACK from their Munster final loss to Kerry to book a place in the semi-finals of the All-Ireland minor football championship at O’Connor Park in Tullamore.
Connacht champions Galway were always chasing the game as Charlie McGeever’s men got top in all of the key positions in the second-half against the disappointing Tribesmen.
Tipperary will now go on to meet Kildare in the All-Ireland semi-final at Croke Park on August 30 when they will bid to reach their first decider since winning the crown in 2011.
There was little between the sides in the opening half but Tipperary edged 0-4 to 0-3 in front just before the break when dual star (and former schools rugby playmaker) Alan Tynan got his second point.
Massive congrats to the @TipperaryGAA minor footballers 2day, serious heart to come back and win after defeat in the munster final #believe
Tipp never lost that lead, but they would have been behind at the break had Galway been able to convert even one of several good goal chances, with wing-back Tadgh Fitzgerald doing well to deny Ryan Forde.
Forde hit the crossbar with another effort, with Fitzgerald again coming to Tipp’s rescue when he blocked the rebound from Patrick O Domhnaill. Galway never recovered from those missed chances and Tipperary were on top for most of the second-half.

Tynan extended Tipperary’s lead with another free while at the other end Forde and Paudie McCormack were denied from good goal chances. The Premier centre forward then wrapped it up with the only goal of the game in the closing stages as Galway became the only provincial winners not to make it through to the All-Ireland semi-finals later this month.
