The lineup for this year's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final was confirmed on Sunday after Tipperary came out on top against Kilkenny at Croke Park.

The scoreline finished Kilkenny 0-30 Tipperary 4-21.

The old rivals met in the second semi-final of the weekend after Cork dominated Dublin on Saturday, winning by 20 points.

Pat Ryan's men walked away from Croke Park having won by 7-26 to 2-21 yesterday.

Each man in the Tipp full forward line - John McGrath, Darragh McCarthy, and Jason Forde - scored a goal, as well as Oisín O'Donoghue.

Kilkenny actually led 0-9 to 1-1 after 15 minutes but Tipperary stormed back in the second quarter of the contest, leading 3-11 to 0-16 at half-time.

It was a double-win for the county of Tipperary on Sunday after their camogie team edged the curtain raiser at Croke Park after being dragged to extra time by Kilkenny and secured their place in the semi-final.

Laura Murphy's score left the game level 16 points each after 60 minutes of their All-Ireland Camogie quarter final.

Clodagh McIntyre scored the goal in extra time to give the Premier a 1-22 to 19 point win.

Tipperary will now play Galway in one of the semi-finals, while Cork and Waterford will clash in the other last four tie.
