Elsewhere, Cork ran out 1-15 to 1-6 winners over Wexford and Galway edged Dublin by 0-17 to 1-11 at Parnell Park.
TIPPERARY EDGING OUT 2023 All-Ireland finalists Waterford was the big story of the day in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship, as the League champions got their summer campaign out to a dream start with a 1-19 to 2-13 victory in their Munster derby played at The Ragg.
O’Connor got the game’s first score from a dead ball inside the opening minute. After further scores from O’Connor, Mackey and Saoirse McCarthy, Wexford finally got off the mark thanks to a strike from Shelley Kehoe, but Cork’s momentum continued and the home side went in 0-8 to 0-2 up as the referee blew for half-time.
After Aoife Doyle’s opening score from play, the Cats went on to gather a 0-6 to 0-0 lead inside a low-scoring first 25 minutes, with Miriam Bambrick, Aoife Prendergast, Katie Nolan, Miriam Walsh and Julianne Malone all on the scoresheet. In the early stages of the meeting of Clare and Down in Ennis, it looked like Clare might be pushed to the wire by the visitors. Down were up by four points up within 22 minutes thanks to a goal from Ciara Fitzsimmons against the run of play.
Derry came away from Cushendall on Saturday with a relatively straightforward 3-17 to 2-10 win against Antrim, having already held a double figure lead by half-time. Aoife Shaw was on fire in the early stages notching 1-1 to kickstart Derry’s day. These scores sandwiched points from Antrim’s Róisín McCormick and Maeve Kelly.
