Tipperary too strong for Antrim

Tipperary 5-19 Antrim 0-7

Tipperary hit four second half goals as Antrim were swatted aside in a one-sided Erin All-Ireland U-21 hurling semi-final at Parnell Park.

Ray McLoughney, Ryan O'Dwyer, and substitutes Danny O'Hanlon and David Sheppard all found the net in the second half as the Munster champions breezed into the September 10 final.

Niall Teehan's early goal set Tipp on their way - they led 1-12 to 0-2 at the break with only Joey Scullion and team captain Blain McDermott on target for the underdogs.

Tipp ran up a wides tally of 14 but were never troubled - although Antrim's Randall McDonnell (0-3) did impress.
