A minute later Callanan got his second after a pass from Morris he hit the ball low into the right corner of the net from the left. Padraic Maher was named as the man of the match.[54][55]

A week later on Saturday 2 February, Tipperary played their second game of the league against All-Ireland Champions Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds with a 7pm throw-in.[56] The match was televised live by Eir Sport and RTÉ2. James Barry was named in the team to start at full-back in an otherwise unchanged team from the victory over Clare.[57] In freezing conditions and in front of 8,559, Limerick went on to win the game on a 1-21 to 1-14 scoreline.[58] The half time score was 1-9 to 1-8 in Tipperary's favor.[59][60] Tipperary's goal came in the 22nd minute when Willie Connors combined with Patrick Maher with Maher scoring with a shot into the right corner of the net from the left.[61][62] Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy confirmed a few days later that Billy McCarthy, Conor Hammersley and Michael Cahill won't be available in 2019 due to injury with 14 players currently on the injury list.[63][64]

On Sunday 17 February, Tipperary traveled to play Wexford in their third game of the league at the Wexford Park with a 2pm throw-in.

On Sunday 24 February, Tipperary played Kilkenny in their fourth game of the league at Semple Stadium with a 2pm throw-in.[74] The match was televised live by TG4. Manager Liam Sheedy made two changes to his starting side with Alan Flynn and Willie Connors coming into the team.[75] Pauric Maher was judged to have touched the ball on the ground in the third minute of injury-time and Kilkenny went on to win the game with the resulting free from 75 metres out from goalkeeper Eoin Murphy.[76] In front of 8,273, Kilkenny had a one point lead at half-time on a 0-9 to 0-8 scoreline.[77] Noel McGrath had scored to put Tipperary ahead in the first minute of added time before Richie Hogan got the equaliser for Kilkeeny with Murphy going on to get the winning score.[78][79][80] With this defeat Tipperary now have only one win from the previous nine league and championship matches.[81][82]

### Semi-final (v Wexford 28 July)

[edit]

Tipperary played Wexford in Croke Park on 28 July in the All Ireland semi-final.[199][200][201] It was the first meeting between the sides in the All-Ireland semi-finals since Tipperary won by 3-12 to 0-10 in 2001. The match was televised live on RTÉ2 as part of the Sunday Game presented by Joanne Cantwell from the Croke Park studio with analysis by Anthony Daly, Ken McGrath and Ursula Jacob. Commentary on the game was provided by Darragh Maloney alongside Michael Duignan. The match was also live on Sky Sports presented by Rachel Wyse and Brian Carney.[202] Tipperary won the game on a 1-28 to 3-20 scoreline in front of 61,852 in sunny conditions to qualify for the All-Ireland Final on 18 August.[203] The Tipperary team named for the match showed two changes from the Laois game with Barry Heffernan and Michael Breen starting in place of Alan Flynn. Before the start of the match Séamus Kennedy also came into the team in place of James Barry.[204] Tipperary playing into the Davin end in the first half scored a goal after 9 minutes when Niall O’Meara handpassed out to Seamus Callanan who pulled on the ball from a tight angle on the right with the ball flying past Wexford goalkeeper Mark Fanning and going into the left corner of the net to put Tipperary into a 1-2 to 0-4 lead, it was his 34th championship goal for Tipperary.[205][206] Wexford scored their first goal after 25 minutes when Conor McDonald found the net when he caught a ball from the left before turning onto his right and firing the ball low to the right corner of the net past Brian Hogan who got a touch on the ball.[207] After 31 minutes a goal by John McGrath was ruled out after the referee went back and awarded a point to Wexford which Brian Hogan had not prevented going over the bar 27 seconds earlier.[208] [209] Wexford had a 1-14 to 1-12 lead at half-time and five minutes into the second half Tipperary had gone a point in front on a 1-15 to 1-16 scoreline.

With ten minutes to go Wexford got a third goal from Conor McDonald from close range after a pass from Lee Chin. A Jake Morris goal in time added on was ruled out after the referee had blown for a free which was converted by Jason Forde to put Tipperary into a one point lead, a further point from a 65 from Jason Forde and a late point from the left by Jake Morris were enough for Tipperary to win by two points on a 1-28 to 3-20 scoreline. Tipperary outscored Wexford by 0-12 to 1-2 for the last twenty minutes of the match.[211] Noel McGrath was named as the man of the match after scoring four points from play.[212][213][214][215][216][217]

#### Match Summary

[edit]

In wet and showery conditions, Kilkenny opened the scoring in the first minute with a free from TJ Reid.[236] Michael Breen got Tipperary's first point after 3 minutes to make the score 2-1. A torrential downpour came after around 5 minutes of the game with many heading for cover under the stands.[237] Tipperary playing into the Davin end in the first half might have had a penalty after 9 minutes when Seamus Callanan was pulled down inside the square with the referee awarding a free instead.[238] After 16 minutes Cathal Barrett caught Richie Hogan high across the faceguard with his hurley with Kilkenny being awarded a free which they scored to make it 6-3.[239] Three minutes later Tipperary goalkeeper Brian Hogan caught John Donnelly’s shot from over his crossbar with HawkEye awarding the point.[240][241] Tipperary scored their first goal of the match after 25 minutes when Jason Forde found Niall O'Meara with a hand pass and he turned past Conor Fogarty before shooting low to the right corner of the net to make the score 0-8 to 1-5.[242] After 33 minutes Cathal Barrett was caught high with a right shoulder to the head near the Hogan Stand sideline from Richie Hogan with the referee showing a straight red card to Hogan. Tipperary had a one point lead at half-time with the score 1-9 to 0-11.[243][244][245]

Tipperary captain Séamus Callanan accepted the Liam MacCarthy Cup from GAA president John Horan in the Hogan Stand.[254] The Tipperary team then did a victory lap around Croke Park with the trophy.[255][256][257][258][259]

#### Reaction

[edit]

Tipperary captain Seamus Callanan speaking to RTE after the match said "It’s everything we f...ing dreamed of, we put in so much work and to finally get there in the end of it is such an unbelievable feeling, I’m so proud of that group there."[260][261][262]

Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy speaking to RTE Radio singled out his family for special praise on the day of the match.[263][264][265][266][267][268]

Kilkenny manager Brian Cody was amazed that a red card was shown to Richie Hogan, saying "We were beaten well in the final score but it is a huge decision to make, to issue a red card".[269][270]

Former Kilkenny hurler Henry Shefflin speaking on the Sunday Game argued that the red card issued to Richie Hogan for the high tackle on Cathal Barrett should not have been red.[271] Also former Kilkenny hurler Jackie Tyrrell speaking on the Sunday Game on the night of the final also taught that a red card should not have been shown.[272][273] Richie Hogan speaking two days after the final insisted that it should never have been a red card.[274][275][276][277] Kilkenny appealed the one match suspension given to Hogan but on 6 November the suspension was upheld.[278]

Highlights of the final were shown on The Sunday Game programme which aired at 9:30pm that night on RTÉ Two and was presented by Des Cahill with match analysis from Brendan Cummins, Cyril Farrell, Jackie Tyrell, Ursula Jacob, Graeme Mulcahy, Derek McGrath and Enda Rowland. On the man of the match award shortlist were Ronan Maher, Noel McGrath and Barry Heffernan with Noel McGrath winning the award which was presented by GAA president John Horan at the post match Tipperary function at the Clayton Burlington Hotel in Dublin. Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy, captain Seamus Callanan, Brian Hogan and father Ken Hogan were interviewed by Joanne Cantwell and Marty Morrissey at the hotel function.[279][280][281][282][283]

#### Homecoming

[edit]

The Tipperary team made the traditional visits to Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin and Temple Street hospital on 19 August before returning home by train where the homecoming event was held at Semple Stadium in Thurles.[284][285][286]

A stage was set up on the dome side of the stadium with the gates of the stadium opened at 4.00 pm.[287][288][289]

The Tipperary senior back-room team and players were introduced to a crowd of over 30,000 at 8.00 pm, with captain Seamus Callanan addressing the crowd and music from the Two Johnnies and 'Slievenamon' sang by Louise Morrissey along with the team. 19-T-LIAM number plates were issued for sale to celebrate the win with the proceeds going to the team holiday. Tipp FM provided live radio coverage of the homecoming. The team then travelled out to Seamus Callanan's home village of Drom to the Ragg bar where the celebrations continued.[290] [291][292][293][294][295]

Six days later on 24 August, Tipperary won the All-Ireland Under-20 Hurling Championship after a 5-17 to 1-18 win against Cork at the Gaelic Grounds.[296] Senior panel members Jake Morris, Jerome Cahill and Paddy Cadell were in the Tipperary team and picked up a second All-Ireland win in a week.[297][298]

In October, manager Liam Sheedy confirmed that he would be remaining on as manager for 2020.[299]
