Tipperary 4-16 Limerick 0-10: Tipperary made it through to their fifth senior All-Ireland camogie decider when they easily dismissed Limerick in the first semi-final at Cusack Park, Ennis, on Saturday.

A goal in the fourth minute by Deirdre Hughes set them on their way and a second goal in the 24th minute by centre back Ciara Gaynor from a 20-metre free saw Tipperary take a 2-8 to 0-7 half-time lead.

In the first half Limerick had to rely on free-taker Eileen O'Brien to keep them in the game.

When Eimear McDonnell landed Tipperary's third goal 10 minutes into the second half, Limerick's cause was lost.
