Cats' firepower proves too much for Premier

A FINAL quarter surge propelled Kilkenny to victory over Tipperary in this thrilling All-Ireland senior camogie championship clash at The Ragg on Saturday.

The Noresiders won 4-8 to 0-12 but were flattered by the eight-point margin after a lacklustre opening 45 minutes. Significantly though, Kilkenny upped the gears when required and three quick goals quenched the hopes of the hosts.

Most of the action occurred in the second half after Tipp led by a point at the interval.
