Waterford team to face Tipperary named

The Waterford team to face Tipperary in the All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship semi-final tomorrow has been named.

It's been 78 years since the Deise have played in the decider, and they are now just two games away from a maiden All-Ireland crown.

Tipperary are the only team to have beaten Sean Power's Waterford this season, as the Deise motored their way through group three of the championship to directly qualify for the semi-finals.

The Premier have featured in 15 finals in all - with an eight-year run that saw them feature in every decider from 1999 to 2006.
