Limerick 1-11 Tipperary 2-14

Tipperary will meet Cork in the MUnster SFC semi-final after a convincing win over Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds this evening.

Barry Grogan and Philip Austin got the goals for the Premier County, one in each half, with the former crucially firing home soon after team-mate Ciarán McDonald was black-carded for a foul on Anthony Nolan.

It helped Tipp into a 1-7 to 0-6 lead at the break and Austin struck just after the restart to keep the momentum up.
