Meagher puts up stout defence to put Tipp into semi-final

Tipperary 0-11 Meath 0-7 Fintan O’Toole

This was a hugely notable triumph for football in the Premier County as they advanced to a semi-final meeting with Roscommon on August 21, the first time they will contest the last four of the competition since 1995.

More critically, they ended a succession of defeats at the quarter-final stage over the past decade.
