Cork repelled a dogged Offaly over the course of an intensely competitive All Ireland semi-final.

Offaly's hopes of winning the intermediate all Ireland Camogie championship were ended by Cork on Saturday.

David Sullivan's side chased the Rebel County throughout the semi final contest.

Offaly trailed by two points at the break thanks in large part to Lauren Homan's first half goal.

Homan would eventually finish with a 1-7 tally for the game.

Cork extended their lead through the second period. 

The Faithful County fought back to bring the gap down to just one point heading into injury time.

From there, Cork sealed their victory with two points and a late goal to win on a final score line of 2-13 to 0-13.

Clodagh Leahy finished as Offaly's top scorer with nine points, all of which were from frees.

Cork progress to face Kilkenny in the intermediate final while Offaly face another season in the grade next year.
