A Danny Cashin free just inside the arc got the visitors on the board moments later, but a black card for Cian Cahill would soon prove their downfall. A well-taken score from Conor O’Meara temporarily stopped the Tipperary rot but a ruthless Waterford smelt blood. O’Donnell was dragged down again and Gough made no mistake from the free, before the arrival of goal number three. O’Meara from an impossible angle and Cillian Morrissey attempted to keep Tipp in touch, but Waterford kicked another four without response. A Cashin free and an impressive Hugh Carolan two-pointer either side of a Peter Murray score drew the Premier somewhat closer, before a beauty from Evan Lonergan had them back within three goals.
