TIPPERARY AND WATERFORD have advanced to the semi-finals of the Munster U20 football championship, with the Déise putting four goals past Clare.
It finished 0-16 to 1-10 in favour of Tipperary in their quarter-final meeting with Limerick, where the Premier County needed to hold off a late fightback from the visitors to pick up their first win at the U20/U21 football grade in six years.
Limerick were trailing by eight points in the second half but grabbed a late goal through substitute Brian Ahern to set up a nervy finish.
But it was too late as Tipperary — who are managed by former Dublin footballer Paddy Christie — held out for victory with Seán O’Connor helping himself to seven points including five frees.
