19:39

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final half time: Cork 2-13 Dublin 0-11

18:39

Limerick, Kilkenny and Waterford are already through to the last four in the All-Ireland SHC. Who will complete the semi-final line-up - Cork or Dublin?

17:44

We still have one more huge game coming up at 7pm - Cork V Dublin in the second All-Ireland SHC quarter-final.

17:41

It's Tyrone's 16th Ulster title and first in four years. Not for the first time, Monaghan suffer heartache against their neighbours at HQ.

17:38

Ulster SFC final full time: Tyrone 0-16 Monaghan 0-15

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-15 Monaghan 0-13

It's been 15 minutes since Monaghan equalised - that score from full back Boyle is their first one since then.

17:27

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-15 Monaghan 0-12

McCurry splits the posts from a free - Tyrone's third unanswered score.

17:25

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-14 Monaghan 0-12

Peter Harte steps inside and nails a sensational point off his right boot on the hour. Monaghan's attack is snuffed out. The comeback has been repelled.

17:22

Another chance for Monaghan but McManus pulls his popshot left and wide.

17:22

Wild wide from Cathal McShane. A Monaghan man went down at the other side looking for a free but nothing doing.

17:21

Donnelly wins the breaking ball inside his own '45'. Tyrone counter but the attack breaks down.

17:20

Fifteen minutes left.

17:19

Ooh!

16:58

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-11 Monaghan 0-7

McCarthy pulls one back within 20 seconds of the restart.

16:46

Tyrone's shooting has been better than Monaghan's. Meyler and Mattie Donnelly have taken the game by the scruff of the neck. The Farney County have not got going. Every aspect of their game has malfunctioned, including their kick-outs from Rory Beggan - normally one of their real strengths. It's looking good for Brian Dooher and Fergal Logan's charges.

16:41

Ulster SFC final half time: Tyrone 0-11 Monaghan 0-6

Morgan smacks a '45' wide and the Red Hands lead by five points at the break. This has been a completely one-sided match so far. Tyrone tails are up and Monaghan are all over the place. Meyler has been magnificent.

16:38

The greasy conditions are making this very difficult for both teams but Tyrone have been outstanding in this first half. Tactically, they have bullied their neighbours. Yellow for Carey as McGeary goes over - McCurry misses the free.

16:33

More disappointment for Monaghan as Karl O'Connell adds to their wides tally. They replace Mulligan with Shane Carey. Tyrone in total control here.

16:31

Bradley and McCurry tack on further Tyrone scores as the Red Hands continue to gobble up every possession.

16:29

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-9 Monaghan 0-6

16:28

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-8 Monaghan 0-6

With advantage being played, Conor McCarthy closes the gap. Wide from McCarron.

16:26

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-8 Monaghan 0-5

16:24

Conor McKenna booked for a high tackle on Lavelle. Rory Beggan pings the free nonchalantly between the posts. McManus struck wides either side of that.

16:21

Tyrone have been dominant so far. They turn the ball over once more... Yellow card for Aaron Mulligan.

16:19

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-6 Monaghan 0-4

16:14

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-3 Monaghan 0-3

Level for the third time thanks to a Jack McCarron strike off that trusty left boot.

16:02

Ulster SFC final: Tyrone 0-1 Monaghan 0-0

Mark Bradley fires over a brilliant opening point for the Red Hands after 90 seconds - super strike off that left boot!

16:01

Game on!

David Gough from Meath is the match referee.

15:59

A minute's silence at Croke Park for late Monaghan U20 captain Brendan Og Duffy breaks into warm applause.

15:54

Monaghan are looking to get a major monkey off their back today by beating Tyrone in Croke Park for the first time. It's a tall order as the Red Hands have some pedigree at HQ!

15:40

Both teams are out on the pitch. Tyrone are in red and Monaghan in blue.

15:38

Team news:

Mark Bradley replaces Tiernan McCann in the Tyrone starting team. Monaghan are lining out as per match programme.

15:13

15:10

The match was engrossing from start to finish and we couldn't have asked for a more dramatic finale than O'Brien's wondersave followed swiftly by Montgomery's goal. What a start to the day and what an immense display from Waterford!

15:08

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final full time: Tipperary 2-27 Waterford 4-28

Waterford win a truly astonishing game to advance to the All-Ireland semi-finals. They produced a stunning team performance and withstood a strong late Tipp rally to progress!

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-27 Waterford 4-28

Substitute Colin Dunford makes it a seven-point game! Waterford have won this!

15:06

Goal!

Waterford have done it! What a finish to an incredible game as Montgomery plants the ball in the Tipp net and follows up with a point - 4-27 to 2-27!

15:06

Save!

What a save by O'Brien to deny John McGrath. The sliothar was heading for the net but the Waterford goalkeeper deflects it over the bar with his hurl...

15:05

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-26 Waterford 3-26

Only three minutes to be added... Substitute Neil Montgomery pops one over for Na Deise in the first of those!

15:04

Wide from Paudie Maher from way out the field...

15:03

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-26 Waterford 3-25

A two-point game with 69 minutes played after Forde converts his twelfth (free). Waterford are rocking big time...

15:02

All of a sudden, the momentum is with the Premier County and they look like they are going to steal this!

15:02

Block!

John McGrath's shot is deflected out wide and Tipp win a '65', which Forde sends over... Tipp getting closer and Waterford fade at a crucial juncture... Sub Willie Connors leaves three between the sides on 68 minutes!

14:59

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-23 Waterford 3-25

Tension mounting here as Breen drops over his third but Ronan Maher thumps wide from distance - a bit overly ambitious perhaps. Kiely supplies Waterford's 25th point and they needed that one. On 65 minutes, Forde swings over a free and the gap is five with five left.

14:57

Forde surprisingly sends a free wide. Seven minutes to go and probably five or six of injury time...

14:56

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-21 Waterford 3-24

Big free from Forde and he makes no mistake. That's his ninth point. Eight minutes left plus stoppage time. Sun is out now in Cork.

14:54

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-20 Waterford 3-24

With a lovely solo score, substitute John McGrath reduces the arrears to six as we move into the 60th minute. Fellow replacement Michael Kiely replies in kind after more fierce battling from Na Deise.

14:51

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-19 Waterford 3-23

The response from Kehoe is magnificent - thumping point from the right wing!

14:50

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-18 Waterford 3-23

For the fourth time, the brilliant Barron raises a white flag!

14:49

Save!

Shaun O'Brien repels Forde's batted effort and the ball rebounds to Callanan, who groundstrokes inches left and wide. Hogan and Ronan Maher swap points.

14:47

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-17 Waterford 3-21

Forde pops over the free after substitute Mark Kehoe is cynically pulled back.

14:46

14:41

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-16 Waterford 3-18

14:39

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-15 Waterford 3-18

Noel McGrath with a much-needed Tipp point but they trail by six with 23 minutes left...

14:38

Penalty!

Not sure how Gleeson lost his hurl but it's a penalty to Waterford and Bennett drills it to the bottom left corner in the 46th minute - 3-18 to 2-14!

14:35

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-14 Waterford 2-18

14:28

Forde wide from a long-distance free with the rain spilling down.

Waterford in a huddle on the pitch as Tipp keep them waiting for the start of the second half. Here they come now ... Seamus Kennedy has replaced Barry Heffernan. The action resumes.

14:13

How did Tipp manage to remain in Waterford's slipstream? Well, Forde and O'Dwyer notched 0-10 between them and Callanan rattled the net twice!

14:11

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final half time: Tipperary 2-13 Waterford 2-14

Ronan Maher's point is eventually awarded by the umpire after a length delay and the half-time whistle sounds with Na Deise on the attack. Waterford have been the better team but Tipp have managed to stay with them. What a half of hurling that was!

14:08

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-12 Waterford 2-14

Fabulous catch by Gleeson but his shot goes wide from a tight angle. O'Dwyer hits his fourth from the wing at the other end and Peter Hogan replies with a beauty after a great Gleeson pass. Ten Waterford players have scored so far. The unerring Forde replies!

14:05

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-10 Waterford 2-13

Hutchinson slots over Waterford's 13th point of an energy-sapping, high-octane encounter. 

14:02

All-Ireland SHC quarter-final: Tipperary 2-10 Waterford 2-12

Ronan Maher pulls back a Tipp point and Kieran Bennett restores the four-point margin.
