Tipperary’s sustained consistency of appearances in the knockout stages of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior camogie championship, and in particular, their record of appearing in the last four semi-finals, is under threat after a 1-16 to 0-13 defeat by resurgent Waterford at Semple Stadium.

The visitors followed up a resounding victory over Wexford last week with another tremendous effort in wet conditions.
