Tipperary are heading back to Croke Park for the first time since the 2019 All-Ireland final after a comfortable eight-point victory over Galway. The Premier will face Kilkenny in that semi-final on Sunday, 6 July. The result in front of 15,404 fans at the Gaelic Grounds also means that giant-killers Dublin will meet Cork the previous evening. The old and young guards came up trumps for Liam Cahill's side. On the inside line, Jason Forde and John McGrath shared 10 points, led by Forde’s 0-07.

Cork’s footballers greeted the full-time whistle at Portlaoise with an outburst of emotion which emphasised the critical importance of their victory. John Cleary’s cool exterior on the sideline was immediately challenged as Ruairí Deane sprinted over to embrace the boss. Ian Maguire was next over, galloping halfway across O’Moore Park to almost split Cleary in two with a hug. It could’ve been so different. Up the line, Davy Burke was doubled over in disappointment.

BEWARE the lessons of history, says Liam Cahill, as Tipp march on to an All-Ireland quarter-final against Galway. Two years ago, the Premier inflicted a record haul of 7-38 on Offaly in this fixture. They could’ve come closer to that mark against Laois on Saturday, but for the crossbar, post, and Cathal Dunne denying them further green flags. Back in 2023, Cahill’s high-flying side were brought crashing back to earth by Galway within a week.

Ger O’Connell hailed his Clare team for their brave finish to spring an All-Ireland semi-final shock on Munster champions Cork. The sides were level 11 times in front of 2,855 fans at Semple Stadium, but the Banner were more assured at the death, despite hitting 14 wides. Their clever passing moves cut through Cork around the middle and created a steady flow of scoring chances. In an absorbing last-four clash, Paul Rodgers, the younger brother of senior star Mark, topped the scoring charts.
