James Woodlock played his first inter-county game in more than 16 months in Tipperary's Waterford Crystal Cup clash with Waterford IT on Sunday.

Woodlock's last appearance in the Premier County colours came in the All-Ireland final defeat to Kilkenny in September 2009.

The Drom & Inch star sustained a broken leg in his club's Tipperary senior final defeat to Thurles Sarsfields in October of that year.

Woodlock, who was nominated for an All-Star at midfield two years ago, was introduced by new Tipp manager Declan Ryan for the second half against WIT in Clonmel and suffered no ill-effects during his 35-minute run-out.
