Meath will face defending champions Kerry at the semi-final stage of the TG4 All-Ireland senior football championship.

Goals from Vikki Wall and Niamh Gallogly helped the Leinster side secure victory over Tipperary at Pairc Tailteann in Navan on Sunday.

The scoreline there finished up Meath 2-17 to Tipperary's 1-6.

Meanwhile, the 2024 runners-up Galway will face Dublin. Both semi-finals are scheduled for Sunday, July 19th.

While Tipperary opened the scoring in their contest with Meath, the Royal County subsequently squeezed in front thanks to unanswered efforts from Gallogly and midfielder Marion Farrelly.

LGFA's Daire Walsh wrote that Meath subsequently bolstered their prospects on six minutes when Wall rifled an unstoppable strike from a left-hand angle into the far corner of the Tipperary net.

At half-time, the Royals had a commanding 2-9 to 0-2 cushion.
