Tipperary are on the brink of qualification for the semi-finals of the Gala All-Ireland senior camogie championship after recording an emphatic victory against Limerick in Kilmallock on Saturday afternoon.
The Premier County ran out 2-22 to 0-5 winners against Limerick, who slumped to a fourth successive defeat in this year’s competition as they continue to find the going tough in the senior ranks.
With home games remaining against Galway and reigning champions Wexford, one more win will be enough for Tipp to clinch a place in the last four.
Tipp led by 1-12 to 0-4 at half-time after Joanne Ryan’s 18th-minute goal opened up a 1-7 to 0-1 advantage, effectively killing the game as a contest.
The Shannonsiders managed just one point after half-time and Cora Hennessy piled on the misery with a second Tipperary goal close to full-time.
Tipp had impressive performances from top-scorer Claire Grogan, who contributed five of her eight points from placed balls, and Cashel club-mate Emily Hayden, who bagged five points from play.
Joanne Ryan and Geraldine Kinnane were also prominent for the winners, while Rose Collins battled valiantly at full back for the outclassed hosts, who had a four-point haul from Michelle Casey, including the solitary second half score from play.
