Jordan Molloy struck the 74th-minute equaliser as Kilkenny and Tipperary warmed up for their provincial championship campaigns with an absorbing draw in front of 10,240 fans at FBD Semple Stadium.

In what was effectively a dead-rubber contest, Seanie Kenneally appeared to have arrowed over the winning point. But after an injury delay, there was time for one final play as the Cats capitalised on a Tipp mistake to level.
