This was the 11th Munster final meeting between the counties with Tipperary leading 8-2. The winners would qualify for the All-Ireland semi-final on 14 August, while the losers meet a qualifier winner in the All-Ireland quarter-final on 24 July. [9] It was announced on 20 June that the final would be played at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick.[10] Traditionally Tipperary and Waterford Munster finals have taken place in Pairc Ui Chaoimh, but the stadium is currently closed for reconstruction.[11][12]
Ticket prices for the final ranged from €30 to €35 in the stand and €25 in the terrace.[citation needed]
Tipperary went into the match without the suspended John O'Dwyer who received a straight red card in the semi-final win against Limerick.[13] They made one change to the starting team with Niall O'Meara coming in to replace John O'Dwyer.[14] Waterford named the same team that defeated Clare in the Munster Semi-final.[15]
In the Minor final which was played before the senior final, Tipperary defeated Limerick 1-24 to 0-10.[16]
S. Callanan (1-11, 8 frees, 1 65); J. McGrath (3-2, 1-0 pen); M. Breen (1-1); Pádraic Maher, N. McGrath, Patrick Maher, J. Forde, A. McCormack (0-1 each).
Report
Pauric Mahony (0-6, 4 frees); P. Curran (0-5, 3 frees); A. Gleeson (0-2, sidelines).
Waterford manager Derek McGrath speaking after the game said "The first thing I have to look at is myself. It's my job to have the team prepared in a manner that they will be able to produce a performance that was a lot better than that. It's highly embarrassing and we're very demoralised after it, any analysis of us is probably balanced by how good Tipperary were at times. I thought we started the game reasonably well, Ironically, we went fairly conventional at the start and seemed to be getting a bit of a foothold into it. We pushed on with 25 minutes to go and the floodgates opened, It's very, very disappointing I have to say."[17]
Man of the Match John McGrath speaking to the Sunday Game said "When I was getting up this morning I wasn't envisaging anything like that, despite the scoreline it was still a massively, massively tough game. We just stuck to our task, we just worked really hard, the breaks go for you some days and when you work I think they fall for you that bit more. We just had a huge work-rate and, thankfully, things paid off in the end."[18]
Cyril Farrell writing in the Irish Independent was impressed by the Tipperary performance saying "it was just like watching Cats in their pomp, If the jerseys were changed at half-time you would have been forgiven for thinking it was Kilkenny out there for the second 35 minutes. There was a ruthlessness to Michael Ryan's men that I haven't see for a while and who took any sniff of a chance they got and kept burying nails in the Waterford coffin until the final whistle."[19]
John Mullane also writing in the Irish Independent was disappointed in the performance of the Waterford team saying "I needn't tell you that I didn't see that one coming. I'm absolutely gutted for the Waterford management and players. It would be easy for me to be critical and stick the boot in but I've been in that position before and it's a lonely place. Waterford have been a breath of fresh air over the last 12 months but they didn't turn up yesterday. Never mind talk of the sweeper system; the work-rate required to win a Munster final simply wasn't there."[20]
