Tipp claim Munster Championship for the first time in 85 years.
It was certainly written in the stars.
It comes 100 years on from Bloody Sunday as the Tipp men wore memorial jerseys and took the title.
The final result was Tipperary 0-17 Cork 0-14 which gave them their first title since 1935.
Of course, Twitter exploded with the news.
A huge day, 85 years of a wait! We’ll be back online when we can take a breath! What a special special day #B100dySunday 💙💛

A century ago, Tipperary footballer Michael Hogan was amongst 14 civilians killed on #B100dySunday.
Today, wearing jerseys commemorating their forebearers, the Tipp footballers claimed the Munster championship for the first time in 85 years.
