What turned out to be an entertaining clash from start to finish saw Jake Morris find the back of the net for the hosts.

Kilkenny substitute Tadhg O’Dwyer scored Kilkenny's goal in the last ten minutes of the game, however it was not enough to keep Tipperary at bay.

It was Forde who saw the game out for the premier county, edging his side in front with an injury time free to win the game.

Elsewhere, Waterford hammered Laois 7-31 to 0-19 at Walsh Park. Tadhg De Burca returned to inter-county hurling after a 14-month absence to contribute to his sides 33 point win.

In what was a much tighter game in Cusack Park, Wexford beat Clare 2-20 to 1-20. A late goal from Wexford's Diarmuid O’Keeffe was crucial to the visitors' success.
