Sneaky play!

Tipperary have beaten Kilkenny, 4-21 to 0-30, in their All-Ireland semi-final at Croke Park, setting up a meeting with Cork in two weeks time.

It was one of the games of the season, with both sides trading the lead at various points throughout the match.

One incident which was not picked up by officials, saw Tipperary's Willie Connors kick a Kilkenny player, making him fall to the ground, in an off-the-ball incident.
