DIVISION FOUR/Tipperary 0-10 Antrim 0-7:ANTRIM'S PROMOTION hopes were dented by a very determined Tipperary at Ardfinnan.
Tipp led 0-5 to 0-3 at the interval, having played with the wind, thanks to points from Kevin Mulryan, Barry Grogan (three) and Damien O'Brien. Points from Kevin Niblock, Michael McCann and Paddy Cunningham kept Antrim in contention. Niblock had the deficit down to one point at one stage, but Grogan and Eoin Kearney replied for Tipp before Antrim full-back Andy McClean was sent off for a second yellow card.
