Waterford Survive on Gardner’s Heroics | Waterford News

Waterford clawed their way back to senior status with a heart-stopping playoff win over Tipperary, thanks to Katelyn Gardner’s two heroic saves — including a penalty stop and a last-gasp one-on-one — and Kellyann Hogan’s clutch seven points that sealed the deal. Down to the final minutes, Tipperary clawed back to within one, but Emma Morrissey’s free hit the post, and Waterford answered with three points to clinch survival. The match, played under scorching heat with no water breaks, was a tense, back-and-forth battle where Waterford’s halftime lead held firm thanks to Hogan’s precision. This victory ends Tomás Mac a t’Saoir’s two-year reign, during which they reached back-to-back Munster finals — and keeps Waterford in the senior grade while sending Tipperary down to intermediate.
