Cork guaranteed automatic progress to the semi-final of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship by virtue of their hard-fought victory over Waterford at Walsh Park but it remains all to play for in Group 1 as four of the other five teams battle it out for the two quarter-final berths.

Waterford remain in second on six points and with a healthy score differential while Tipperary, who struck late to deny Wexford, are level on five points with Dublin, who let a five-point lead slip late on against Clare to leave Ennis with just a share of the spoils. With the teams having drawn in their previous clash, it is the fact that the Premiers have scored three more points that puts them ahead.
