Cahir 1-10
Loughmore-Castleiney 2-7

Cahir and Loughmore-Castleiney will have to meet again to decide the destination of the Tipperary SFC silverware this year after today's final at Leahy Park ended in a draw.

An attendance of 1,550 turned up to see holders Loughmore-Castleiney come from behind to snatch a draw and the replay is scheduled to take place next Sunday.

There was a hint of square ball about the game's first goal which arrived courtesy of Robbie Costigan and parachuted Cahir into a 1-2 to 0-1 lead but Liam McGrath and Cian Hennessy replied for the reigning champions and they trailed by 2-2 to 1-6 at the break.

Loughmore-Castleiney held a slender 2-6 to 1-8 lead on the three quarter hour mark but the sides were deadlocked when the final whistle was blown.

Meanwhile, Drom and Inch qualified for the Intermediate football final with a 2-8 to 0-8 semi-final replay victory over Borrisokane and Moycarkey-Borris got the better of Fethard in the Senior Football Relegation final on a scoreline of 2-9 to 1-4
