Steven O’Brien’s goal in the 27th minute was the difference between the sides at the break, helping Tipp into a 1-5 to 0-5 lead.
But it was Waterford who had the best of the third quarter, and Jason Curry’s third free of the afternoon cut the Déise’s deficit to the minimum, 1-6 to 0-8.
Waterford then hit the front when Darragh Corcoran scored to put them ahead 1-8 to 1-7 just before the hour mark.
But their lead was short-lived as Quirke hit a quick fire 1-1 to restore an advantage which Tipp would not relinquish.
Feehan’s goal in additional time made their victory safe as Tipp’s thoughts turned to their meeting with the All-Ireland champions and a trip to Killarney in two weekends’ time.
