Holders Kerry powered to a 19-point win over Clare at Austin Stack Park. Paddy Lane top-scored with 0-7, while Evan Boyle and Jack Joy grabbed their goals.

The Rebels stormed to a 21-point win over Waterford at Super Valu Páirc Uí Chaoimh to secure safe passage to the provincial decider.

Seán Coakley scored 0-9, 0-7 from play, as Ray Keane’s side chalked up a tally of 0-33 in a comfortable victory. Waterford’s Diarmuid Mackle raised the only green flag of the game.

Kerry will have home advantage for next Thursday night’s final against the Rebels in Tralee.
