Jake Morris executed a brilliant piece of skill in the Tipperary SHC to help Nenagh Éire Óg to their first win of the campaign.

With his side just a point ahead at the Ragg this afternoon, the Tipperary star got on the end of a long delivery and controlled the sliotar with the deftest of first touches before swinging one-handed to score the game's opening goal as Nenagh ran out 3-19 to 1-17 winners over Kilruane MacDonaghs. 

Trailing by 0-12 to 0-10 at the break, a Thomas Cleary major had MacDonaghs back to within a point in injury-time but Nenagh responded with two further goals to put the contest beyond reach.

Elsewhere, in group 1, there were emotional scenes at Boherlahan as Clonoulty-Rossmore returned to action for the first time since the passing of teammate and club captain Dillon Quirke.

At Semple Stadium, JK Brackens fought back from an early six-point deficit to hold reigning champions Loughmore-Castleiney to a 1-16 apiece draw.

In the second part of a Thurles double-header, two goals from Jamie Moloney and one for Eoin Collins (penalty) proved decisive as Drom-Inch defeated Thurles Sarsfields 3-21 to 0-23.

Meanwhile, Borris-Ileigh got off the mark at the second attempt when beating near neighbours Templederry Kenyons by 0-29 to 0-23 in Nenagh.
