Tipperary started the game with four starters from the 2025 All-Ireland final win over Cork, Robert Doyle, Michael Breen, Bryan O’Mara and Andrew Ormond, as well as three players who came on as substitutes, Alan Tynan, Oisín O’Donoghue and Darragh Stakelum. Capacity for the match was limited to a maximum of 2,000 supporters and was sold-out. Tipperary scored a goal in the first half when Paddy Creedon fired low to the net and had a 1-11 to 0-7 lead at half-time, and also led by eight points with ten minutes of normal time remaining. However the match ended in a draw, 1-18 to 1-18 with a late Jack Leamy free rescuing the draw for Tipperary.[13]
