Mon 04 Apr 2007Waterford make telling pointNational Hurling League Quarter-finals/Waterford 1-20 Tipperary 1-19:There was, as Tony Brown said afterwards, a touch of championship in the air at Nowlan Park yesterday. Waterford and Tipperary went to the verge of requiring extra time of each other in this National League quarter-final before a fine point from Shane Walsh placed a thin slice of separation between the sides at the final whistle.Something for everybody in the 70 minutes of hurling which preceded that grand climax.
