Historic victory as Déise ladies topple Tipp

Waterford 1-16

Tipperary 0-13

Waterford have beaten Tipperary at senior level for the first time since they got promotion in 2015 after a fantastic display against the Premier at Semple Stadium this afternoon.

Abby Flynn’s first half goal proved decisive for the Déise - who scored the first six points in a dominant showing in wet and windy conditions.

Beth Carton hit 0-8 while captain Lorraine Bray led from the front once again with 0-3 from play. Roisín Kirwan proved a real handful with two points and two assists from full-forward, while Niamh Rockett hit three points.

It’s a second win of the season for Derek Lyons’ side after a superb 18-point victory over Wexford at Walsh Park last weekend.

The Déise now move onto six points - and have a great chance of qualifying for the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals.
