Tipperary cruised to a 3-8 to 0-6 victory over Limerick this afternoon in the opening round of Phase 1 in the Munster U20 football championship.

The Premier lads held a 0-4 to 0-3 lead in Ballyagran when Daithi Hogan buried in their first goal in the 21st minute and they’d go on to hold a 1-5 to 0-3 lead come half-time.

Ben Carey added to Tipp’s lead early in the restart and a Paddy O’Keeffe goal midway through the second-half would be backed up by another major from Hogan late on to ensure the visitors’ got off to a flying start in this year’s competition.

In the other opening round fixture, Waterford came from four points down against Clare to record a 4-12 to 2-15 victory in Doonbeg.

The home side looked to be on the path to victory after goals from Colin Riordan and Darragh Killeen helped them towards a 2-7 to 0-9 lead 10 minutes into the second-half.

However, the Deise lads demonstrated their resilience with goals from Conor Keating (2), Paddy McCarthy and Fergal O’Brien to see them over the line towards an opening win.
