Allianz Hurling League round-up - Dublin 2-15 Tipperary 0-21:Liam Rushe scored a goal with the last puck of the game as Dublin rescued a point against Tipperary in an enthralling finish to their Allianz League Hurling Division One clash at Croke Park.

The sides had traded scores and the lead during a blistering second half, drawing level on six occasions, but Tipperary began to pull away late on to lead by three with the clock winding down.

Dublin never gave up though and somehow fired the ball towards the Tipp goal, where it broke for Rushe, who was clinical with his finish.

David Treacy had earlier come off the bench to score Dublin’s first goal just after half-time. The Cuala clubman also slotted over some great points, but it was Rushe that proved the hero in the end to secure Dublin’s first point of the campaign.
