Tipp do damage in first half to secure qualification as champs Kilkenny bag vital win

Wexford will need a comprehensive win over Dublin and hope that Tipp can do something similar to Kilkenny if they are to progress but must first address their slow starts.

Tipperary are back in the knockout stages of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championships after securing their second victory from two Group 2 games when beating Wexford by 3-15 to 0-12 at Bellefield.

The seven-season unbroken run in the last six came to end 12 months ago on score difference but new manager Denis Kelly has no such worries in his maiden campaign as the Premiers have qualified with a game to spare.
