Waterford Crystal Cup: Tipperary and Cork progress

The hurlers of Tipperary and Cork will enjoy an early-season duel in the Waterford Crystal Cup semi-finals next weekend after both sides progressed through to the last-four of the competition.

Jimmy Barry-Murphy's Cork side showed little mercy to neighbours Kerry today as they thumped them 5-18 to 1-14 in a one-sided quarter-final clash at Pairc Ui Rinn.
