THERE WAS PLENTY of drama in the Tipperary SHC today, as defending champions Kiladangan were sensationally dumped out of the competition at the quarter-final stage.
Leading the Eddie Brennan-managed Moycarkey-Borris by seven points with 10 minutes remaining, it looked as though the holders would be advancing to the final four. They were also seven in front at half-time thanks to goals from Conor Byrne and Billy Seymour while Brian McLoughney raised a green flag in the second half.
But the challengers, who brought it back to two points early in the second half, struck for an unanswered 1-6 with the goal coming from Max Hackett in the third minute of injury time. That proved to be the last act of the game as Moycarkey-Borris celebrated an incredible result.
