Leinster Hurling Championship
Antrim v Carlow 2pm start
Galway v Dublin 2pm start
Kilkenny v Wexford 2pm start
Munster Hurling Championship
Limerick v Waterford 4pm start
Tipperary v Clare 4pm start
Almost everything remains up for grabs in what promises to be a small-ball Super Sunday in the fifth and final round of games in both the Munster and Leinster senior hurling championships.
In Leinster, Kilkenny host Wexford at UPMC Nowlan Park, Galway host Dublin at Pearse Stadium, and Antrim host Carlow at Corrigan Park. All three games throw-in at 2pm
In Munster, Limerick host Waterford at TUS Gaelic Grounds and Tipperary host Clare at FBD Semple Stadium, both those games starting at 4pm.
A win or a draw for Limerick in their game against Waterford would be enough for Limerick to contest a sixth consecutive Munster final. All doorways remain open to Waterford – the provincial final, third place or elimination from the championship
Tipperary’s interest in the 2024 championship ended with last week’s humbling defeat at the hands of Cork. For Clare, the pathway ahead is clear – avoid defeat against Tipperary and the Banner will be back in another Munster final.
A draw or a win for Kilkenny over Wexford in Nowlan Park on Sunday would secure Kilkenny a spot in another provincial final – Kilkenny are aiming for a fifth successive Leinster title.
A win in Salthill would see the Dubs advance to the Leinster final but defeat to Galway would leave them staring at elimination from the championship. Carlow must beat Antrim to avoid dropping back to the Joe McDonagh Cup.
Follow all the action here as it unfolds, and the fate of all the teams is revealed.
