Borris-Ileigh pip battling Loughmore-Castleiney as Tipp last four decided

Borris-Ileigh and Drom-Inch emerged victorious from yesterday’s quarter-finals to join Thurles Sarsfield and Éire Óg Annacarthy-Donohill in the Tipperary senior hurling semi-finals.

Borris-Ileigh edged Loughmore-Castleiney in an enthralling encounter at Semple Stadium on Sunday despite being matched score for score throughout the first half, with the sides level on eight occasions.

Borris found a second wind midway through the second half to score 1-4 with no reply to leave their opponents with a mountain to climb.
