Niall Ó Ceallacháin's team played much of the game with 14 men, having lost Chris Crummy to a red card in the 14th minute.

We brought huge physicality, which really set the tone for what we went on to do. We're delighted to get into the semi-final.

Dublin v Limerick LIVE coverage of All-Ireland SHC quarter-final from Croke Park
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Dublin v Limerick in the All-Ireland senior hurling championship quarter-final at Croke Park, which is the opening game of a double-header at GAA HQ - with the SFC preliminary quarter-final between Dublin and Cork to follow. Niall O'Ceallachain's Dubs go into this last eight tie on the back of a victory - last Saturday's preliminary quarter-final demolition of Kildare - but that will count for very little going into the battle with the country's best team of the last eight years. Limerick will be out for a statement performance on the back of the heartbreaking loss on penalties to Cork in the Munster final, after an impressive campaign in the provincial championship. Dublin, on the other hand, looked the part in their win over Wexford in Leinster, and with their second half comeback against Kilkenny in Leinster, but they looked well off the pace in the first half against the Cats and then against Galway, a defeat that cost them a place in the provincial final. As expected, they made short shrift of the Lilywhites last weekend, who were barely over their Joe McDonagh Cup celebrations, and O'Ceallachain will know that his side will have to go up several levels in terms of performance to live with Limerick. Treaty boss John Kiely will look for the right reaction from his players after their Munster disappointment but if Dublin can stay with Limerick, they could sew some seeds of doubt heading down the stretch. Throw in is at 4pm at Croker. There may be changes before the throw-in but here are the teams as announced late in the have two changes from the Kildare game, with Andy Dunphy in for Paddy Dunleavy at wing-back and Conor Burke return for full-forward targetman John Hetherton; Limerick are unchanged. LIMERICK: Nickie Quaid; Sean Finn, Dan Morrissey, Mike Casey; Diarmaid Byrnes, Kyle Hayes, Barry Nash; Adam English, William O'Donoghue; Gearoid Hegarty, Cian Lynch, Tom Morrissey; Aaron Gillane, Aidan O'Connor, David Reidy. Subs: Shane Dowling, Peter Casey, Colin Coughlan, Seamus Flanagan, Declan Hannon, Barry Murphy, Fergal O'Connor, Donnacha O Dalaigh, Darragh O'Donovan, Paddy O'Donovan, Cathal O'Neill. DUBLIN: Sean Brennan; John Bellew, Paddy Smyth, Conor McHugh; Paddy Doyle, Chris Crummey, Andrew Dunphy; Conor Burke, Brian Hayes; Rian McBride, Fergal Whitely, Cian O'Sullivan; Sean Currie, Ronan Hayes, Diarmaid O Dulaing. Subs: Eddie Gibbons, Donal Burke, Colin Currie, Paddy Dunleavy, Daire Gray, John Hetherton, Andrew Jamieson Murphy, David Lucey, James Madden, Paul O'Dea, Darragh Power.

Tipperary retain Darrell Darcy Cup after extra-time burst beats Clare
Munster MFC Phase 1 final: Tipperary 1-16 (1-0-16) Clare 1-14 (1-3-8) (AET) Tipperary came with a 1-2 burst in extra-time to regain the Darrel Darcy Cup with a dramatic two-point victory over Clare at FBD Semple Stadium. The Premier had to come from 11 points behind to pip the Banner seven days previous just to make this Phase 1 final. They had to repeat that fight here, scoring the final four points of normal time to level at 0-12 apiece. They immediately fell a goal behind in extra-time as star man Conor Burke picked up the ball on the 65 and soloed through for a sublime finish. Jack Kearney and Seán Burke's fourth point closed the gap but Conor Burke brought his tally to 1-9 with a two-point free into the wind. But it was level at the final change of ends after Seán Griffin was held for a penalty, which Dylan McCormack drove down the middle. From there, a free from captain Ned O'Meara and Killian Smith's clincher saw Tipp home. Both sides advance to Munster semi-finals against Cork and Kerry next Monday. Tipp's intent was clear from the start. They registered the opening brace of points through Dara Maher and Seán Burke. Both punched the air in celebration. Liam Casey outpaced two defenders for Clare's starter before Tipp thought they had a goal in the 10th minute. McCormack's shot beat the keeper and was touched in by O'Meara but the green flag didn't go up due to a square ball. Conor Burke's first levelled the game. It was the only time the sides would be level until the final kick of regulation. Tipp pressed ahead as Cormac McInerney came up with two excellent turnovers, the second of which led to a Seán Burke point. Conor Burke shimmied through the Tipp defence but was denied by James O'Brien. At the other end, Aaron McAndrew gathered a high ball but fired wide of the net. O'Meara's pair and one from McCormack kept Tipp's noses in front against responses from Conor Burke and Danny Lyne. 0-6 to 0-4 at half-time. An O'Meara free extended that lead but Clare reeled off seven on the trot to turn the tide. Conor Burke kicked a two-point free before half-time sub Michael Normoyle vaulted them in front with a curling kick from outside the arc. Burke was growing to dominate the game with points off his left and right before spinning on the spot for a breathtaking effort. Clare didn't score after the 44th minute and Tipp chipped away through an O'Meara free and Seán Burke point. The hosts were down to 14 for the final 10 minutes due to Darragh Bresnan's black card but forced a goal chance, which Oisín Tierney brilliantly tipped over from Niall Delaney. There was time for one more play and Killian Fitzgerald drew the free for O'Meara to equalise.
