TIPPERARY INTERMEDIATE TEAM
The Tesco Homegrown National Football League will commence next weekend for Tipperary with an away game to Fermanagh. The two teams have not met since they provided a thrilling finale to their last encounter in Semple Stadium.
Tipperary having not led during the game entered injury time of the second half with a four point deficit. Niamh Lonergan scored a point and Claire Carroll won the kick out and lobbed it over Fermanagh goalkeeper’s head into the back of the net. With only seconds on the clock, Mairead Morrissey won possession from the resulting kick out and passed the ball quickly to Niamh Lonergan who swiftly took aim and kicked a high ball towards the Fermanagh goal. The full time hooter then sounded only for Lonergan’s goalbound shot to dissect the posts for the winning point of the game. Niamh is unfortunately not available for this weekend’s game due to a cruciate injury, we wish her the best.
Details of the fixture will be available on www.tipperaryladiesfootball.ie as soon as they become available.
