Cork 3-17 Kilkenny 0-13Advertisement ****
There wasn’t much between the sides in the opening ten minutes in Donnycarney, when Niamh Rockett and Gaby Couch traded points. However when Rockett got the faintest of touches on an Abby Flynn shot to send in the game’s first goal after 16 minutes, Waterford never looked back. That will be a crucial game for Galway too, after champions Tipperary handed the Tribeswomen their first defeat of the year in Kilbeacanty, 2-14 to 1-13.
The Tipp half-back trio of Mairéad Eviston, Caoimhe McCarthy and Sarah Corcoran were simply imperious after half-time, with Casey Hennessy also getting through a mountain of work in the middle third. That platform allowed Tipp to starve the Galway forwards of possession, though the Maroons also tightened the screw in their own half of the field.
An excellent Aoife Norris save to deny Orlaith Cahalane, allied to early points from the Kilkenny midfield duo of Laura Murphy and Aobha O’Gorman, helped to establish an early 0-6 to 0-2 lead for the visitors.
