Old rivals await as Kilkenny's All-Ireland SHC semi-final opponents revealed
The Cats will meet Tipperary in Croke Park in two weeks time
Kilkenny have learned their hurling championship fate with Tipperary confirmed as their opponents in the All-Ireland SHC Semi-Final in Croke Park on Sunday July, 6.
The last four meeting will be the first time that the local rivals have met in the championship since the 2019 All-Ireland Final with the Premier County returning to this stage of the competition on the back of a six year absence.
The mouthwatering semi-final affair has come about on the back of Dublin claiming a shock victory over Limerick that sees the side from the capital meet Munster Champions Cork in the other semi-final while Tipperary ran out rather convincing winners over a disappointing Galway side.
The Kilkenny and Tipperary game will have a 4pm throw-in on the Sunday with a big possibility of the Kilkenny camogie team playing in an All-Ireland Quarter-Final beforehand having sealed their place in the knockout stages of the senior championship.
The Cork and Dublin game will take place on the Saturday evening where there will be a 5pm start with big crowds expected on both days.
The two hurling games will be live on RTE Television.
