The venue has been announced for the semi-finals of the Allianz Hurling League. Kilkenny will meet the winners of the Division IB final between Clare and Limerick at Semple Stadium on Sunday, April 22 at 2pm. The other semi-final pairing in the top tier sees Cork and Tipperary also meet in Thurles. Their last four clash will follow Kilkenny’s semi-final, with the throw-in at 4pm. Tipperary have home venue due to a home and away agreement with Cork.
Meanwhile, the Division IB relegation play-off will be between Wexford and Laois at 2pm on April 15 in Nowlan Park. That game will be part of a double header, with the Division IIA final between Carlow and Westmeath also taking place at Nowlan Park at 4pm.
