Tipperary edged out 2023 All-Ireland finalists Waterford in the big story of the day in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship, as the League champions got their summer campaign off to a dream start with a 1-19 to 2-13 victory in their Munster derby played at The Ragg.

This was a tight affair throughout. At half-time Waterford led by 1-7 to 1-5 thanks to a Mairead O’Brien goal and an impressive five-point haul from Beth Carton, with Lorraine Bray and Sarah Lacey also on target for the Déise.
