Both sides enter the tie, having lost one apiece to All-Ireland champions Wexford. Tipperary’s ability to consistently score goals in each game, allied with the good scoring returns of Nicole Walsh, Jill Horan and Joanne Ryan puts them a strong position going into the game. Cork racked up a huge score against Offaly hitting 5-20 followed by 2-15 against Kilkenny a week later and Paudie Murray’s charges will feel confident of securing a coveted quarter-final spot on 4 August. Much will depend on the Cork defence plus the form of Jennifer O’Leary and Katrina Mackey up front.

Verdict: Cork
Offaly v Kilkenny, St Brendans Park, Birr, 2:30pm
A difficult campaign for both teams, who have secured only one win a piece in their round robin stages. Saturday’s tie presents both with the opportunity to kick-start their championship and each will fancy their chances of securing victory. Offaly will be relying upon the scoring talents of Elaine Dermody, who has been one of the stars for the Faithful and if Kilkenny can keep tabs on the full-forward, then they have a strong chance of going through. Big performances will be needed though from experienced campaigners such as Elaine Aylward and Catherine Doherty. Home advantage to Offaly is a major boost and John Troy’s side may just have enough.
