Yea, I think it was 13. In fairness there was a huge wind there aiding Tipp in the first half. My memory of the game is gone a bit shady now but I think they also goaled after half time to build a double digit lead. Limerick fans started leaving with 10 minutes to go. It finished 4-10 t0 3-13
Limerick won the replay 3-17 to 2-12
That was it
It was drizzling as well
A cunt of a day. The replay was a cracking day

rather a lot of vegetation on the terrace in thurles in 1981!!
how did mossie carroll end up playing with Tipp ? I heard before but it escapes me
He was working in Chadwicks hardware in Clonmel.
He was working for Chadwicks. Transferred to Clonmel.
did he come back to Limerick after?
Yes
After a year or two iirc
Didn’t the bomber join him for a while as well?
He did.
Tepp were 13 up at ht and scored a pt to go 14 up. Then joe mac went mad.
I was talking recently to a couple of lads from our club who hurled him in the 70s. They said he was unstoppable. They wore out hurleys on him but he was too big and too good a hurler.
Ya right
Good one have that one back
