That was that as Cork’s frustrations grew with Seamus Harnedy – who did get end their second and last score of the second half – seeing a shot at goal crash off the crossbar, while Conor Lehane had an injury time penalty saved by Shelly.
The Tipperary goalkeeper would also get on the board, as would substitute Noel McGrath to cap a glorious day for Tipperary who are champions once again.
