Limerick step it up after goal blitz

Limerick 0-16 Tipperary 3-5

Tipperary lost their way for most of the second-half after being reduced to 14 players and indeed were flattered by the scoreline.

The Shannonsiders erased the memory of their narrow defeat by Kerry in the league semi-final and, on the evidence of this performance, are clear favourites to overcome Waterford at the Gaelic Grounds in the semi-final in a month's time.
