Tipperary 0-21
Tomás McCarthy at Walsh Park
All-Star forward Stephen Bennett shot 1-16 as Waterford delivered a stunning ten-point victory over Tipperary this afternoon.
The Déise have won all seven league games at Walsh Park under Liam Cahill’s watch. A rampant home side reeled off ten points in a row in the final quarter to the delight of the 5,865 fans that packed into the city ground.
Tipperary led by six points after 20 minutes but Bennett’s goal was a game-changer. The Ballysaggart man was the star of the show with 1-6 in the first half and ten points in the second. He landed monster scores from play and from frees.
The Waterford half-back line of Jack Fagan, Tadhg De Burca, and Iarlaith Daly were dominant while Darragh Lyons put in a big shift at midfield. Jack Prendergast and Patrick Curran assisted Bennett up front with three points apiece.
Michael Breen and Mark Kehoe were Tipp's top performers with four each.
