Cork 1-21
Tipperary 0-10
Wing back Kieran Histon's 18th minute goal set Cork up for a comfortable Munster JFC semi-final victory over Tipperary at Semple Stadium.
The Rebels had way too much firepower for the home side to earn a final showdown with All-Ireland champions Kerry on June 30, with forwards Michael Vaughan, Killian O'Hanlon, Mark Sugrue and Gerry O'Connor amassing 0-19 between them.
The first quarter was competitive with Tipp only trailing by a point, 0-3 to 0-4, but the visitors never looked back after David Harrington teed up the raiding Histon for the only goal.
Cork went on to lead by 1-11 to 0-6 at the break thanks to further points from O'Hanlon and Vaughan. It continued to be one-way traffic after the restart as late points from Sugrue sealed an emphatic win.
