Tipp turn the tide to seize All-Ireland glory
TIPPERARY sensationally claimed the Liam MacCarthy Cup after a stunning second‑half turnaround against long‑time rivals Cork at a packed Croke Park in Dublin. Trailing at half‑time by six points (Cork 1‑16 to Tipp's 0‑13), Tipperary erupted in the second period, outscoring Cork 3‑14 to 0‑2, turning a deficit into a decisive 3‑27 (36) to 1‑18 (21) victory A defining moment came early in the second half: Cork's Eoin Downey was shown a red card for conceding a penalty, which was expertly converted by John McGrath. Cork were down to 14 men. McGrath's arrival on the field of play delivered an immediate impact—he later added two more goals, completing a remarkable brace that underlined Tipp's dominance. However, it was 19‑year‑old Darragh McCarthy who stole the headlines, contributing an incredible 1‑13 to the total. Despite the pressure of the big stage McCarthy delivered a performance of composure and maturity. Manager Liam Cahill credited McCarthy's calm focus as key to the revival. The victory also marks redemption for Cahill, whose leadership comes after challenging championship seasons, and it ends Tipp's six‑year All‑Ireland title drought with their 29th crown overall For Cork, the result is devastating—their fifth All‑Ireland final defeat since 2005. Once strong in the first half, they completely collapsed under Tipp's second‑half surge In front of a crowd of over 82,000, this final will be remembered as one of the greatest comebacks in championship history.
