Camogie wrap: Six left standing after Super Saturday
Galway and Cork will play in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie semi-finals at Croke Park in three weeks' time, where they will await the winners of the quarter-finals in a fortnight’s time.
As a result of a Super Saturday of six fixtures in two groups, Kilkenny will play Dublin and Waterford will take on Limerick in those quarter-finals at Semple Stadium.
Tipperary are the unluckiest outfit, missing out on the knockout stages on score difference, despite pulling off a 1-17 to 1-16 triumph over Cork at Páirc Ui Rinn and only losing one out of five games.
Dublin produced a stirring second-half performance to post a 4-14 to 2-11 victory against Wexford in Bellefield and having begun on the same score difference as Tipperary, that saw them through, as Waterford chiselled out a 2-12 to 1-12 win over Clare in Cusack Park to cement second position in Group 1 and banish the Bannerwomen to a relegation play-off.
Group 2 was a little more straightforward, Galway just holding off Kilkenny to record a share of the spoils, 1-17 to 2-14, at Kenny Park to give them top spot on score difference.
It was winner-takes-all between Limerick and Antrim at Corrigan Park, the visitors going through the gears in the second half to record a 1-14 to 1-11 success that gave them third spot.
As a result of Down’s injury-time 1-11 to 0-13 victory over Offaly at Liatroim Fontenoys, the Faithful women will now play Clare in a relegation play-off, while Down secured their elite status.
Kilkenny trailed by four points at half time against Galway but Miriam Walsh’s second goal and a point moved them ahead, only for Catherine Finnerty’s equaliser to snatch the semi-final position at the death.
Three early points from Denise Gaule and Walsh’s first major
