Tipperary and Galway bag places in All-Ireland semi-finals
Tipperary were ahead 3-6 to 1-4 at the break following a hat trick of goals from Deirdre Hughes, Eimear Mc Donnell and Jill Horan with Caitriona Carey, sister to DJ scoring the opening goal of the game with just fourteen minutes gone.
Unfortunately the second Foras na Gaeilge third round encounter between Antrim and Galway became totally one sided as Galway cruised to victory 9-26 to Antrim’s 0-0. Like Tipperary, Galway have now earned themselves a place in the All-Ireland semi-finals on August 21st which will be televised live for the very first time on RTÉ.
