Cork 0-0 Waterford 0-5 Cork 0-5 Waterford 0-8 Keating drives one over the bar. Shortly before the break, Cork had made it a two point game. The Rebels kicked on from here however and rattled off five unanswered scores to pull away down the stretch. Originally, Thompson was banned for this game but had her suspension rescinded at the 11th hour last night.

In the Intermediate semi-finals, Cork play Meath and Derry face Galway with both matches at UPMC Nowlan Park. That’s followed by the clash of defending champions Galway and Kilkenny at 5.30. Croke Park hosts both senior semi-finals, with Cork and Waterford first up at 3.15.

Cork survived a titanic tussle with Waterford, overcoming a five-point second-half deficit to eventually chisel out a five-point victory.

They were also finding more space in the Déise half and McCartan (two), O’Connor and Keating completed the scoring. When Chloe Sigerson lofted over a free from the 65, tight to the right touchline, there were incredibly only two points between them.

While it was a relief for Matthew Twomey and his troops that they were able to hit top gear with the last eight points, Derek Lyons and his crew will feel that the final scoreline was scant reflection of their efforts and they will be correct in that assessment.

Waterford's hopes of reaching a first All-Ireland senior camogie final since 1945, and only their second ever, evaporated as favourites Cork hit the high ...

Thompson came in and eventually drifted back as sweeper, immediately putting her stamp on the game with much of the play routed through her. Kirwan should have goaled in the 18th minute when put through by Abby Flynn, only to shoot over the crossbar. Katie O’Mahoney tried to stifle her but found it hard going, not helped in one instance by a baffling free given against her for over-carrying when she was being virtually sat on. They were pinning their hopes on a lively attacking unit and for much of the game that sector looked set to inspire a famous victory. They had to call on veteran Ashling Thompson, who managed to overturn a suspension in time to be a late panel inclusion. Beth Carton hit four of their seven first half points, two from frees, one of which was won by her own hands.

Victory means Kilkenny will play Cork in the 2022 All-Ireland Camogie final.

They were also finding more space in the Déise half and McCartan (two), O’Connor and Keating completed the scoring. When Chloe Sigerson lofted over a free from the 65, tight to the right touchline, there were incredibly only two points between them. Gaule was very influential getting on the ball though from her deeper position. The game was played with real pace and jaw-dropping intensity and Kilkenny were quicker out of the traps. When the ubiquitous Katie Nolan pointed 10 minutes in, Kilkenny led by two but Carrie Dolan and Catherine Finnerty brought Galway level. Dolan and Ailish O’Reilly provided some separation, either side of Norris’s 28th minute penalty save.
