Ronan Maher is about to get his hands on the Liam MacCarthy Cup as GAA President Jarlath Burns prepares to hand the famous piece of silverware over to the Tipperary captain.

As for Cork, they will wonder just what happened in that second period. They scored just two points after the break as shots tailed wide or came off the uprights.
Losing Eoin Downey to that second yellow in the same act as McCarthy bagged Tipp's second goal from a penalty seemed the crushing blow as they just didn't recover. Their wait for Liam MacCarthy continues.

This is one of the biggest upsets we have seen in an All-Ireland final in years, maybe decades.
No one gave them a chance, but their second-half performance was just outstanding.

What in incredible second half from Tipperary. They were six down at the half despite having played reasonably well, but took full control in the second period as John McGrath netted twice and Darragh McCarthy buried a penalty.
From a team that couldn't get out of Munster last year, they have scaled the mountain in 2025.
